Birding essays with humor, observation, and conservation in view

Gathering twenty-five pieces first published in birding magazines, More Tales of a Low-Rent Birder uses the birding world as a lens on both wildlife and the people drawn to it. Pete Dunne’s subjects range from the habits and appearance of committed birders to an injured golden plover, with essays that also address the pressures human activity places on birds’ survival. The collection pairs close attention to birds and their habitats with an accepting, often comic interest in birding’s human “odd birds.” Its essay format makes it a natural book to dip into one piece at a time.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Birdwatchers interested in personal and observational essays
  • Nature readers concerned with birds and habitat pressures
  • Fans of humorous writing about hobbyist communities

Book overview

More Tales of a Low-Rent Birder brings together twenty-five essays that originally appeared in major birding publications. In these pieces, Pete Dunne ranges from wildly humorous to sadly elegiac, as he describes everything from the "field plumage" of the dedicated birder to the lingering death of an accidentally injured golden plover. Running like a thread through all the essays is Dunne's love and respect for the birds he watches, his concern over human threats to their survival, and his tolerance, even affection, for the human "odd birds" that birding attracts. Truly, these essays offer something for everyone interested in birds and the natural habitats our species share.
