In my 37 years as a professional writer, I have written about all kinds of topics. But after all this time, I still enjoy writing about nature the most, which is what I first started writing about all those years ago.
For example, several weeks ago, I was doing my usual three-mile morning walk. I heard a turkey gobbler sound off three times just after 8:00. This is highly unusual as mating season ended several months ago, and it was already hot and muggy that day. The next morning, I heard a bobwhite quail singing its song - a sound I had not heard in my home county of Botetourt in a decade or so.
Why was that turkey gobbling at such an unusual time? Why was the male bobwhite singing at such an unusual time? These are questions I never become tired of pondering and are a part of the wonder of the outdoors.
