Paperback. Etat : New. "The song started with an upward-slurred note at a pitch in the eighth octave, the extreme right key on the piano. Then, two higher notes came down in pitch, and two more rolled up and down, as if going over a speed bump. The tune lasted a second and a half and came again after a five-second pause. These liquid notes sounded like a waterfall, and I smiled because the source of the notes--a Veery, a kind of thrush--was the bird I'd come to Northcentral Washington to find."  Tom Bancroft has an unusual wealth of scientific knowledge about birds and the Pacific Northwest. His education and professional career were entirely focused on birds, their ecology, and conservation--first as a research biologist and then at the science-policy interface. As a scientist, he focused on facts and left emotion and passion behind.  Now, connecting science with personal observations, Bancroft shares from a human as well as an ornithologist's perspective, conveying the delight, healing, and passion that birds can bring to people. His essays explore species and places across the Pacific Northwest, some of them little known to even the most avid outdoor person. Chapters range from exploring the thrill of finding a rare bird to comprehending the incredible migration of a Swainson's Thrush. He describes how wild birds often helped him cope with life's challenges and rekindled the joy and solace he lost following a significant loss. His greatest hope is that his readers will also be drawn into the wild--to feel the wonders of the Veery, which flies to the southern Amazon for the winter, and to marvel that the Song Sparrow singing in their backyard learned its tunes after deciding where it would spend its life--that knowing these details would create a desire to discover more.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The grizzly paused in knee-deep water, staring straight at the man behind the camera. Abruptly he bolted, racing full tilt toward Thomas Bancroft, his eyes glued to the photographer's face. The bear kept coming, closer and closer, as Bancroft snapped pictures and frantically debated what to do. Suddenly a sockeye darted out of the water, and just as quickly, the powerful animal veered away to chase the fish.A biologist and scientific policy advisor, Bancroft planned his weeklong trip to the Katmai National Park and Preserve intending to photograph bears, but he ended up finding a great deal more. Having spent much of his professional career in Washington, DC, working to protect places like the Alaska wilderness and now struggling with a deep personal loss, when he finally walked among its salmon, bears, and caribou, emotions overwhelmed him.Wild things are essential to human wellbeing. Whether standing in a crystal-clear river feeling dozens of sockeye salmon swim around his legs, watching gulls lurk around a feeding bear, meeting a thrush by a Lake Clark cabin, pondering conservationist Dick Proenneke's determination, flying over spectacular volcanoes, mountains, and glaciers, or sitting beside a pilot who has lived his entire life in wild Alaska, Bancroft felt a profound awe and respect for Alaska's wild creatures and landscape. He also found himself contemplating his own life choices, family relationships, and career.
