Title: Fill of joy
Description: Montlake Landfill was operated as a municipal landfill by the City of Seattle from about 1926 to 1966. The landfill was closed in 1971. Today, Montlake Fill is a naturalized area on the University of Washington campus that is host to more than 240 different species of birds. In 32 essays arranged into four seasons, the author documents the birds who come here and the things they do. This volume "describes how to find joy in ordinary life. By studying the interactions of the wild creatures who share our planet, Connie distills the essence of what it means to be human." --
