AN Exhilaration of Wings: The Literature of Birdwatching

Culled from the letters, diaries, and ornithological observations of John Muir, John James Audubon, Wordsworth, and Teddy Roosevelt--among other lesser-known naturalists--this illustrated treasury of bird-watching literature addresses migration, nests, flight, and a wide variety of exotic and ordinary species. 15,000 first printing.
