Birding Across North America: A Naturalist's Observations
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 Qu?bec's Gasp? 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.

Any who love birds will find it most accessible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Birding Across North America: A Naturalist's Observations could be called a memoir of birding years, but it also holds plenty of practical details unique to the field guide, and description common to the travelogue. It may be hard to properly categorize this title, but any who love birds will find it most accessible. Individual chapters cover migration, reflections on domestic cats and wild birds, and basic elements of birdwatching in the East. A fascinating, revealing guide.
