Adios to the Brushlands

“By late afternoon, I’d collected two bobcats. I enjoyed the hunt, but the real treat was to be at the ranch, and with Dad. I looked forward to a couple of nights in the stone cabin, its straw roof layered over the vaulted rafters, cool Gulf air steering the sounds of pauraques and screech owls through the windows”

This is an important passage because Arturo Longoria explains the relationship the little boy had with his dad and with nature, the wilderness. How he likes to go hunting at the “El Cuervo” ranch and he always looks forward to spending the nights at the ranch an enjoy the sounds of different birds. This also relates to the relationship wilderness has with the humans, that they go hunting and spend time at their ranches enjoying the beauty of the nature.
