382: Wild but Delicate: What Hawks Can Teach Us About Nature, Life, and Love
“When I got to know these hawks, their joy in the chase became mine. And although I had no desire to hurt any of the prey items that they chose to chase, I could feel their joy.”
On the show this week we’re joined by naturalist, author, and returning guest Sy Montgomery. Throughout her career, Montgomery has repeatedly shown an incredible ability to understand, befriend, and interact with animals. We last heard from her in episode #128 where she talked about her 2016 book The Soul of an Octopus, but she’s written about everything from tigers to snakes to hummingbirds. In this episode we explore her latest book, where she covers her perhaps most challenging animal yet, The Hawk’s Way: Encounters with Fierce Beauty.
