Birds of all species, from starlings to blue jays, hummingbirds, eagles, and the wild turkey, have long inspired great minds to even greater heights. Anyone with a bird feeder in their backyard will understand why. Birds mesmerize, soothe, and entertain. Their antics amuse us, their beauty renders us inarticulate, and their feats of endurance suggest the awesome mysteries of nature. We have Audubon and Roger Tory Peterson to thank for what understanding of our avian neighbors we possess. The infatuation with birds, however, goes far beyond the realm of the naturalist. It infects poets, playwrights, politicians, comedians, and explorers alike. Now birders can leaf through the pages of this book to enjoy sentiments witty, profound, wise, and joyful. Among the more than 500 quotations are gems from Dr. Suess, William Blake, David Letterman, Theodore Roosevelt, Gore Vidal, Andy Warhol, Daphne du Maurier and many more.
The Quotable Birder is the perfect gift for the millions of men and women who have made birdwatching one of the most popular hobbies in America. Any avian admirer will find endless hours of pleasure leafing through these pages and many will want to give and receive this collection as a gift.
