Birder Interrupted

“Unlike standard birding tales, M. Ralph Browning’s colorful orioles-to-alligators adventure finishes forty-three years after he started. Ralph’s knowledge of American history, his depth of understanding of science, and his joy in simply seeing birds is unmatched in any birding story.”

Morgan Spring

Foreword

“Reading Morgan Spring, I could almost smell the forest and I could certainly imagine the birds—and the neighbors. . . . Ralph is a nationally-known ornithologist, and the story is infused with facts about birds and with the simple enjoyment of birds. A compact history of the region adds a layer of time to Browning’s experience. . . . It is said that all good things come to an end, and this book does. I hope you enjoy your visit.”
