The Boston Globe once described Sy Montgomery as “part Indiana Jones and part Emily Dickinson” in recognition of her adventurous spirit and passionate voice as a writer. She is a naturalist, devoted conservationist, author, documentary scriptwriter, and radio commentator who writes for both children and adults. Among her award-winning books are Encantado: Pink Dolphin of the Amazon, Search for the Golden Moon Bear, and Spell of the Tiger — which was made into in a National Geographic television documentary that Sy scripted and narrated.

But use your eyes and your ears to listen and see what animals may live near your home!
