The psychological burdens of waiting for spring under gray skies compound the challenges of freezing rain, wind chill, deep snow, and dangerous ice. Despite winter's harshness, there is plenty of beauty and life in the woods if only we know where to look. The stark, white landscape sparkles in the sunshine and glows beneath the moon on crisp, clear nights; bare branches make it easy to see long distances; birds flock to feeders; and animals-even those that should be hibernating-make surprise visits from time to time. \u003ci\u003eAppalachian Winter\u003c\/i\u003e offers acclaimed naturalist Marcia Bonta's account of one season as experienced on and around her 650-acre home on the westernmost ridge of the hill-and-valley landscape that dominates central Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcia Bonta is a freelance nature writer and the author of, in addition to her Appalachian seasons books, \u003ci\u003eOutbound Journeys in Pennsylvania, More Outbound Journeys in Pennsylvania, Women in the Field, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEscape to the Mountain, \u003c\/i\u003e and the editor of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Women Afield\u003c\/i\u003e.
