Synopsis
A leading nature writer looks at the annual migration of birds, harbor seals, and shore birds in Maine--including encounters with a kingfisher, a weasel, and sunfish--and discusses his own drive to join the great seasonal pull.

Review
One of the most daring of contemporary writers in the genre. --"Norton Anthology of Nature Writing"
"[Hay's] books about Cape Cod belong in the company of Thoreau, Donald Culross Peattie, Henry Beston, and Rachel Carson." --Robert Taylor, "The Boston Globe"
"Hay's new book, published in his 83rd year, is autumnal in spirit and in substance. . . . The essence of this enterprise is a kind of prayer, eloquent and deeply felt." --Richard Todd, "Civilization"
"[Hay] is, to my mind, without question this country's greatest living nature writer. . . . He writes out of such a profoundly poetic impulse that he cannot help but produce prose of a high literary order." --Robert Finch, "The Cape Codder"
"Hay loses himself in details, describing the minute play of light through grasses, the reflection of a water bug on the rocks of a stream bottom, the fungi on fallen trees that begin to glow with an eerie luminescence. . . . [He] is not only the observer of what most of us don't see, but of what we may never get a chance to see." --David Cline, "Hartford Advocate"
""In the Company of Light" shares with considerable humility the well-honed insights of a man rich in the wisdom of age and observation of nature."--Nancy Grape, "Maine Sunday Telegram"
