Editorial Reviews

Review
In these tales about birds, birding, and birders, Dunne has captured many of the feelings that make birding special.... Almost any ornithologist or naturalist would enjoy this book. (Auk )

His sketchbook tales . . . are lively and brimming with wit, satire, and sensitivity. (New Jersey Audubon )

Product Description

"In these tales about birds, birding, and birders, Dunne has captured many of the feelings that make birding special.... Almost any ornithologist or naturalist would enjoy this book."

Auk

"His sketchbook tales . . . are lively and brimming with wit, satire, and sensitivity."

New Jersey Audubon

"The observation of birds can be many things—science, an art, an esthetic experience, a game or sport, indeed anything you choose to make it. To Pete Dunne it is all these things.... Although he can match his extremely sharp eyes and trained ears with anyone... he never loses his sense of fun.... Read what he has to say about birds and the birders who pursue them with such passion."

—From the foreword by Roger Tory Peterson

Tales of a Low-Rent Birder is a collection of nineteen essays and sketches written between 1977 and 1985. It was originally published in 1986.
