Turaco Country: Reminiscences of East African Birding
No Customer Reviews
Dale Zimmerman's singular memoir details a half-century of ornithological investigations in East Africa, set against the political backdrop of the shift from colonial to African rule. Although birds are Zimmerman's focus -- especially his seminal work in Kakamega Forest -- many other aspects of natural history are elucidated, from botanical communities to bats to butterflies.Often with his wife Marian and young son Allan, Dale found adventure aplenty among the lions, elephants, boomslangs, and splendid turacos. This enduring witness to wild Africa is generously illustrated with over 900 photographs of the highest quality, and leavened with the insights of one of the most knowledgeable naturalists ever to study the region. Zimmerman also co-authored and co-illustrated East Africa's definitive field guide, Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania.
