In these highly personal narratives, which originally appeared in Bird Watchers Digest, Peterson recounts his adventures during a lifetime of birding and traveling the world to observe and record nature. nRoger Tory Petersons unique perspective on birding comes to life in these highly personal narratives. Here he relates his adventures during a lifetime of birding and traveling the world to observe and record nature. Though Peterson was widely known for his illustrations, this collection reminds us to reconsider his accomplishments as a photographer, for Peterson was nearly as passionate about photography as he was about painting. The essays and photographs included here were carefully selected by Bill Thompson III, the editor of Bird Watchers Digest, which ran the column All Things Reconsidered during the last twelve years of Petersons life.
