He Didn't Leave His Name.: And Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003ePete Dunne has been watching birds since he was seven years old. But not just watching-deeply absorbing every nuance of color, markings, shape, flight, and song; all the subtle clues that can identify a bird barely glimpsed among the highest branches in fading twilight. With the same skill, he has been observing and writing about birding and birders for over twenty years, using humor, sentiment, occasional sarcasm, and unashamed passion for his chosen profession to explore why birdwatching is so irresistibly compelling to so many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together thirty-two vintage essays that Dunne originally wrote for publications such as \u003ccite\u003eAmerican Birds\u003c\/cite\u003e, \u003ccite\u003eBird Watcher's Digest\u003c\/cite\u003e, \u003ccite\u003eBirder's World\u003c\/cite\u003e, \u003ccite\u003eBirding\u003c\/cite\u003e, \u003ccite\u003eLiving Bird\u003c\/cite\u003e, the New Jersey edition of the Sunday \u003ccite\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/cite\u003e, \u003ccite\u003eWildBird\u003c\/cite\u003e, and \u003ccite\u003eWild Bird News\u003c\/cite\u003e. Encounters with birds rare and common is their shared theme, through which Dunne weaves stories of his family and friends, reflections on the cycles of nature, and portraits of unforgettable birders whose paths have crossed his, ranging from Roger Tory Peterson to a life-battered friend who finds solace in birding. A cliff-hanger story of the bird that got away gives this book its title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292716001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.52w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/24\/1998 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pete Dunne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635439202460,"sku":"9780292716001","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e0ca784b-dd52-49fc-8e2b-910f5e69952e.jpg?v=1603839551","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/small-headed-flycatcher-seen-yesterday-he-didnt-leave-his-name-and-other-stories-9780292716001","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
