Birder Interrupted

“M. Ralph Browning’s new book provides a personal look at the rich birdlife inhabiting our many beautiful green spaces scattered across America. He does this through narratives of two cross-country journeys, one in 1962–1963, the other in 2005, which detail his personal quest to see all the bird species found in the Lower 48. Readers encounter rich stories of birds, naturalists, special places, unexpected discoveries, and a story of inexorable environmental change across nearly five decades.”
