Trogons, Laughing Falcons, and Other Neotropical Birds
by Alexander F. Skutch
Renowned naturalist Alexander F. Skutch has enjoyed a long and memorable career brimming with discovery and controversy, capped by his critically acclaimed book The Minds of Birds. Now he takes his mature reflections and thoughtful observations of bird behavior one step further. Trogons, Laughing Falcons, and Other Neotropical Birds reveals the lifetime dedication of an expert naturalist who for seventy years has studied birds in tropical America, from Mexico to Peru and Venezuela. A pair of violaceous trogons, the only New World birds known to nest in an arboreal ants' nest; a pair of laughing falcons, the only raptors that might be called friends of small birds; hummingbirds that learn the songs they repeat in courtship assemblies to attract females; soaring kites that catch insects with their feet instead of their bills, as flycatchers do; and other notable birds are covered in Skutch's straightforward literate style. Skutch also tells of the only wild birds he has ever raised from eggs, two gray-headed chachalacas which became strongly attached to their foster parents. These and other unpublished observations on neotropical birds, plus accounts published long ago in journals not now widely available, updated by new observations and interpretations, will add to the famous Skutch literature. His lifetime of conscientious observation and the information he imparts are invaluable and compelling.
Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler
by Kevin Windle
The companion volume to his popular Notes on Fishing, Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is Sergei Aksakov's guide to the bird species of his native Russia. Written in a style that invites comparison to the works of Gilbert White and Thomas Coward, Aksakov's volume combines a naturalist's sensibility with a literary skill that elevates the work beyond ordinary environmental writing. Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is filled with precise descriptions of the various game that it treats: detailed accounts of the behavior of birds, observations on their life cycles, and lyrical discourses on the habitats -- marsh, water, and forest -- found in the author's home region. Aksakov's deep fondness for his homeland permeates his Notes, and he contrasts a gentleman's affectionate observations on both hunter and hunted (Aksakov's passion for the habits and habitats of his subjects are in stark contrast with his enthusiasm for the shooting and eating of his quarry) with an expertly conveyed atmosphere of personal and national nostalgia. Offering a rich multitude of viewpoints -- philosophical, literary, linguistic, ethnographic, and environmental -- Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler will appeal to a wide audience of readers, from birders to historians to those who relish fine literature.
