OF A FEATHER
by Scott Weidensaul
traces the colorful origins of American birding: the frontier ornithologists who collected eggs between border skirmishes; the society matrons who organized the first effective conservation movement; and the luminaries with checkered pasts, such as Alexander Wilson (a convicted blackmailer) and the endlessly self-mythologizing John James Audubon. Harcourt. 358 pages, 16.0 x 23.5 cm, paperback, 2007.
