Curious Naturalist [EPUB ebook] 
Nature’s Everyday Mysteries

Boston Globe nature columnist discusses the lovelorn messages sent by singing insects on autumn evenings, the messages contained in spiderwebs, the effects of winter snow on the way sound travels, the way all life depends on the unusual structure of water, and much more. Most fun is the authors description of ways to interact with other creatures (e.g., teaching wild birds to eat out of your hand).
