In Search of Birds and Wild Places

Very Good used paperback. Old price sticker on front cover. Tim Gallagher's rediscovery of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, a bird long thought to be extinct, in a swamp in Arkansas in 2004 received tremendous media attention. Search of Birds and Wild Places, a collection of his short writings before that momentous event, shows the breadth and variety of Gallagher's spirit of adventure and passion for birds. With a particular focus on raptors and the Arctic, this book of "adventure birding" recounts the author's daring as he gives the reader an extraordinary look at the world of birds few have the opportunity to witness.
