January – March
Nature Newswatch by Tim Herd is an attractive weekly “capsule” of the North American world. In an informative, yet entertaining fashion, it alerts readers to what is happening in Nature and explores a wide variety of wildlife and natural history topics – from what’s blooming to who’s hatching to where the migrants are – as fertile and broad as Nature itself!
