Description
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. His book, The Grail Bird (2005), met with great acclaim. This collection of his earlier short writings 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.
