By John James Audubon
This is a superb combination of autobiography
and observations on nature from the great
outdoorsman and artist himself. His detailed
notes on the behavior of various species
of birds (the section called "Ornithological
Biography") prove him to be a scientist
as well as an artist. Of particular interest
is his description of his own experiment
to see whether vultures find their food by
sight or smell. While modern studies have
proven the opposite, this episode shows his
logical, methodical mind. This book is a
treasure for all lovers of birds and nature
and especially all who admire Audubon's magnificent
images of the "Birds of America." |
