Their songs and flights show us what we must protect for the future of threatened birds, forests, and humankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA narrative of perception change, memoir, and kinship, \u003ci\u003eFeathered Forest \u003c\/i\u003eis a soaring ode to birds and wild trees.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarina Richie\u003c\/b\u003e's writing career began in the early 1980s as a reporter for a weekly newspaper in northeastern Oregon.
