Author’s Tranquility Press Unveils ‘Backyard Barometer’: A 50-Year Climate Change Bird Study

Author's Tranquility Press Unveils 'Backyard Barometer': A 50-Year Climate Change Bird Study
A captivating true story of one man’s devotion to birds and the silent environmental shifts hiding in plain sight.

Some climate stories are told in polar ice and rising seas. This one begins in a Pennsylvania backyard. In Lifestyles of Back Yard Birds and How They Are Affected by Climate Change, author Frederic Buse offers a rare, decades-long window into the lives of birds—and how their behavior has quietly mirrored a planet in flux.

Now available on Amazon in paperback and hardcover, the book is a heartfelt blend of personal observation and ecological insight. Published by Author’s Tranquility Press, it’s a work that turns daily birdwatching into something far more profound: a record of climate change written in wings and song.

When the Birds Change First

In 1969, Buse began tracking birds from his backyard, a small patch of land gradually shaped into a bird-friendly haven. Over 50 years, he recorded 79 species, noting their arrival times, nesting patterns, and unusual behavior.

What he discovered was subtle—but staggering:

  • Species once seasonal now staying year-round

  • Earlier migration arrivals by weeks or more

  • Dry springs affecting nesting and feeding

  • Once-common visitors disappearing entirely


His logs, graphs, and reflections reveal a story of slow, undeniable change—one that hasn’t made headlines, but speaks volumes through birdsong and silence.

Part Memoir, Part Ecological Record

Buse’s writing is accessible, personal, and filled with wonder. Each chapter weaves data with quiet moments: a goldfinch bathing in a drought-stricken pan, a hawk circling where none had before, the eerie absence of a familiar song.

The result is a book that will resonate with:

  • Bird lovers who recognize the subtle shifts in their own neighborhoods

  • Environmental readers seeking grounded, firsthand accounts of climate impact

  • Educators and students exploring local ecosystems over time

  • Anyone who has paused to watch something wild and wondered what changed


Now Available on Amazon

Lifestyles of Back Yard Birds and How They Are Affected by Climate Changeis available now in paperback and hardcover. It’s a quiet, unforgettable book—and a reminder that even the smallest spaces can hold the biggest truths. Order now on Amazon and discover what the birds have been trying to tell us all along.

Climate doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it arrives on wings—and one man was listening.
