Introduction	I have written over 55 published books for children. Most are natural history. But I tend toward lyrical language and wordplay in both fiction and nonfiction. You are likely to find me writing at my computer, speaking at a school/conference, watching fish on a coral reef, or watching migrating birds in a prairie or rain forest. I am looking forward to joining with the other terrific nonfiction authors on this blog.
Interests	Sound recording, songwriting, photography, birdwatching, science in general, rain forests and tropical travel, native plant gardening
Favorite movies	Any documentary by David Attenborough.
Favorite music	Bird song, especially thrushes and warblers in spring. Human song: Chris Thile, Seldom Scene, all kinds of bluegrass, classical guitar, any song with clever lyrics, a touch of Fado, vocals ranging from Bobbie McFerrin to Ella Fitzgerald
Favorite books	Anything by Tamora Pierce. Other fantasy authors, too.
