Here is an evocative, closely observed portrait of terns, as the noted naturalist John Hay has watched these "tirelessly flying, excitable, vulnerable birds" for years on Cape Cod. Celebrating their beauty, Hay describes all aspects of the birds' lives, from threats by enemies (including human beings' neglect of the environment) to mating rituals, the wild tumult of a crowded nesting site, and their long-range migrations.

Industry Reviews

John Hay, at the top of his powers, has written a great poem of the earth. He gives us the real, wild planet, threaded by long-migrating terns and ordered by the cycles of the storm and sun the birds must deal with. . . . I believe The Bird of Light is one of the significant books of the year.--Thomas J. Lyon
