4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy read and great essays!,
By Debra L Cerda (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small-headed Flycatcher. Seen Yesterday. He Didn't Leave His Name.: and other stories (Paperback)
This is a wonderful collection of essays which appeal to both birders and naturalists alike. The essays are short enough for a quick read, but the messages last a lot longer. Some of the birding terms and names may be difficult to understand if you are not an avid bird watcher, (I am a beginner) but do not let that sway you from reading this book. As a biologist first and a naturalist second, some of the essays helped me to find a better balance between scientific research, habitat management, and conservation. As the writer states, the styles and topics vary between different essays. Some are heart-wrenching, and some are funny. Would make a great gift, but after reading one of the essays, you may hestitate ever giving a bird-related item to a seasoned birder again! Much better than a salt and pepper holder shaped like birds.

This review is from: Small-headed Flycatcher. Seen Yesterday. He Didn't Leave His Name.: and other stories (Paperback)
A most enjoyable collection by one of our most capable birding authors. Hugely entertaining and delightfully educational, this is birding at its best. The title story is, in my opinion, quite simply the best fictional short story about birding ever written.
