Nature Obscura: A City's Hidden Natural World by Kelly Brenner

3.0

I was a bit disappointed in this one, although probably because it didn't match with my expectations. I expected this to be about nature you can find in an urban setting, but with a few exceptions (hummingbirds, crows, tardigrades) this was all about creatures she found in very wild places. I was hoping to be surprised by things you can find in the city, but Seattle has several very large, very natural parks and this is where she found most of her subjects. There were some interesting observations here to be sure, but it wasn't what I had hoped for.
