Birds in the Wilderness: Adventures of an Ornithologist. Illustrated by the Author with Pencil Drawings and Field-Sketches in Color Made from Living or Freshly Killed Birds.

193651191bdNew York: The Macmillan Company 1936. First Edition. Octavo green cloth hardcover gilt letters uncut xiv 200 pp. Near-Fine with light foxing to endpapers and page edges; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with light edgewear that has been price clipped. From dust jacket: In engaging and informal fashion Dr. Sutton tells of his adventures afield in many wild regions of the United States and Canada. Much of the authorâ€™s most important scientific work has been based on his bird-study expeditions along the coasts in deep woodlands and swamps over mountains and western prairies and his account of days in camp and field makes delightful reading. From boyhood when he first met a belligerent mother Turkey Buzzard in the confining interior of a hollow log to his recent year of ornithological work on Southapmton Island in Hudsonâ€™s Bay Dr. Sutton has been fascinated by the study of bird life. Rolling northward â€œdownâ€ the LAbrador coast in a forty-five-foot yawl the author studied the gulls and Fulmar PEtrels of that bleak sub-Arctic world of bergs and squalls. In the tropical wonderland of southern Florida he found at â€˜Gator Lake the home of the Wood Ibis the Swallow-Tailed Kite and MAn-oâ€™-War Bird. Among the species here described amid their natural surroundings are the mighty owls of the deep woods and tundra; the Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers of northeastern Louisisana; the Blue Goose of Hudsonâ€™s Bay; the Marbled Murrelet and Calliope Hummingbird of British Columbia; the comical Road-Runner of the Wouthewest; the Raven of wild Appalachian gorges; and the rare Harrisâ€™s Sparrow whose eggs Dr. Sutton discovered. Here too are described many amusing bird-neighbors whose doings will delight the nature lover no less than the authorâ€™s adventures among their wilder rarer cousins. Dr. Sutton is Curator of Birds at Cornell University. The Macmillan Company, 1936. First Edition. hardcover books
