From the author of the award-winning Wild Orchids Across North America comes an informative, beautiful—and at times poetic—summary of one man’s life as a birder. Journeying from the swamps of Alabama to the icy waters of Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula, from the sky islands of Arizona to the birdfeeder in his New Hampshire backyard, Keenan describes the remarkable pageantry of North American birdlife. More than a mere journal or travelogue, however, Keenan’s book offers the incisive observations of a passionate naturalist for whom no question pertaining to birds is insignificant or irrelevant. With more than 100 color illustrations, it is as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the mind.
