| Notes: | An account of a twelve-month odyssey taken by Pete, and his wife, LInda. They set out to find the good birds and great locations of North America and to discover what it is about birding that has made it the second most popular outdoor activity in the U.S. Calls to the Rare Bird Alert have the couple motoring down deserted highways in search of Red-billed Pigeons, weekending at a sewage treatment plant in Baltimore to find a Ross's Gull, or picking through a garbage dump with a local priest to find a Mexican Crow. From the Arctic Ocean to the Everglades to the living room of Roger Tory Peterson, Pete's wisdom and witty observations make this an irresistable travel book |
