Articles liés à "Bird!": An Exploration of Hawkwatching
Synopsis
“Bird!” is an existential exploration of nature through the guise of hawkwatching. And yes, hawkwatching is a thing! It is a citizen science activity that differs from typical birdwatching. Here, hawkwatchers, a mostly volunteer group, brave the elements in service of generating a physical count of migrating raptors (eagles, hawks, vultures, falcons, etc.). In his first book about this esoteric subject, Brian M. Wargo, a physical and social science educator, taps into the universality of Homo sapiens’ longing to connect to the biotic world. His book, which is really a series of 22 standalone essays, captures the spirit of hawkwatching, taps into the mind of the hawkwatchers who do it, and provides a contemplative assessment for why they do it. A must read for those who love the outdoors but find it difficult to describe why they love it.

Paperbound. Etat : Very Good. First Edition, so stated. Description: Includes a few black and white photo illustrations. ''Bird'' is the universal call hawkwatchers use to let others know that a hawk is in the sky. Upon hearing it, binoculars are elevated, and the race is on to locate the migrating hawk before it disappears. The term 'hawk', encompasses many flying raptors, including eagles, falcons, vultures, kites, osprey, harrier and a few other exotics. These species are counted by a group of citizen scientists who spend upward of nine hours a day looking up, identifying, and marking, the birds that pass. The book hopes to shed light on the people, the places, and the hawks themselves by teasing out the remarkable from an otherwise inconspicuous social activity. Twenty-two essays help to reveal the lure of hawkwatching. BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; Very Good condition. 8vo (9 inches tall). 184 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 070364
