Product Description

Experience the wild beauty of birds around the Bay. "Gives voice to a piece of California that nourishes an astonishing array of birds who deserve celebration." —Chris Johns, Former Editor-in-Chief, National GeographicHaving explored San Francisco neighborhoods in three celebrated books, Dick Evans turns here to the avian species that call the Bay Area home.With his photographer's eye, he finds art and drama in the lives of birds, from the smallest sparrows to long-legged Great Blue Herons.He captures the pockets of wilderness in our cities that make the area a birder's paradise: from a marsh full of endangered birds wading in the reeds near the Oakland Airport to the isolated refuge of the Farallon Islands, home to a quarter-million seabirds and a handful of visiting scientists; from Crissy Field, flocked with egrets, to the pasturelands birds share with cattle.His vibrant images are interspersed with text by Hannah Hindley that weaves us more deeply into relationship with our avian neighbors, introducing readers to the natural history of the region, to themes of interdependence and ecology, and to the evolving challenges for birds in a densely settled urban environment.At the heart of these images and stories is love for the living descendants of dinosaurs as they soar and parade, and awe at their ephemerality and endurance.Evans's photos highlight the wonder of a world on the wing and the rich biodiversity of Bay Area birds. This book was made possible by the guidance and insight of Point Blue Conservation Science.A portion of book sales will be donated to support their ongoing work on climate-smart wildlife conservation.
