Rare and Elusive Birds of North America
by William Burt
For sixteen years, author/ photographer William Burt has been on an uncommon mission. Every spring and summer since 1984, he has been in pursuit of the toughest of subjects: twenty of the least known, almost mythically elusive North American birds. Burt spent weeks in the field at a time, employing his own hand-built equipment and often revisiting sites, year after year in certain cases, to get the pictures he wanted. The end result is this collection of stunning photographs of these birds in the wild, and the engaging stories behind capturing the images. This book contains over fifty remarkable photographs of these camera-shy birds. Additionally, it contains an appendix of thumbnail sketches about each of the birds featured in the book: where they can be found, their markings, and their other unique characteristics. Rare and Elusive Birds of North America will appeal to the thousands of birders who have spent their time watching for the very prize finds that Burt spent years locating and photographing, and is a wonderful addition to the libraries of serious and recreational birders alike. "More than a remarkable and beautiful collection of photographs, this book by Bill Burt provides an intimate look at some of the most little-known birds in North America. His detailed accounts of the lives of these birds, and the special challenges and successes he experienced on his quest to photograph them all, make fascinating reading. What really comes through, in the writing and the photographs, is his deep and sensitive appreciation of the uniqueness of each of these most intriguing birds."-David Sibley "William Burt is a perfectionist whose photographs of rail and other shy and elusive birds of the wetlands are unquestionably the finest ever taken."-Roger Troy Peterson "As a professor of ornithology, tour leader, and author, I think Bill's photography is incredible! In addition, he has shown that he is a beautiful writer."-Noble S. Proctor
