Michael Daley's Of a Feather passes Thoreau's moral test. To have written so well of what he has so clearly seen--birds, insects, landscapes, flora and fauna--requires a receptivity to what is before him, everyday, animate or inanimate, large or small. A receptivity grounded in patience and love. Of a Feather has an off-hand, unhurried and leisurely tone that feels Chinese, even Taoist.
