In April 1909, twenty-two-year-old Robert Silliman Judd, born and raised in Bethel, Connecticut, climbed aboard a train bound for the northern plains where his uncle Elmer farmed in Cando, North Dakota. Robert roamed the prairie with Elmer for six months, observing and collecting birds during the great spring migration. Decades later, Robert's granddaughter Margaret Rogal discovered his notebooks filled with detailed records of birds, nests, and eggs, along with his letters and summaries portraying his love for North Dakota and the thousands of migrating birds, alighting, it seemed, at his very feet. Margaret responded to the trove of documents with poetry; each sample herein is an exploration of Robert's experience.

Margaret Rogal grew up in Connecticut, not far from where her grandfather Robert Silliman Judd--the subject of these poems--was born and raised, and where he lived his entire life. Although a New Englander by birth and nature, Rogal spent thirty years in Iowa and Illinois, raising two daughters and working as a librarian. A graduate of Colgate University, Rogal studied poetry at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, Augustana College, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Now a resident of Vermont, Rogal was a finalist for the Poetry of the Plains & Prairies Award and the Sundog Poetry Book Award. Her poetry has appeared in such journals as Common Ground Review, Broad Street, Zig Zag Lit Mag, Miramar, and SALT. Field Notes is her first book-length collection.
