- Synopsis
- Trained as an ornithologist and painter, George M. Sutton recounts a series of adventures with birds in the first decades of the twentieth century. In "Titania and Oberon" he tells the story of raising a pair of baby road-runners. In "The Harris's Sparrow's Eggs" he describes the fierce competition between U.S. and Canadian ornithologists who searched for the nest and eggs of a reclusive bird. In "Kints!" Sutton writes of observing and recording one of the last known nesting pairs of ivory-billed woodpeckers.
