Five Months of Bird Study in Arizona’s Baboquivari Foothills
Set in a tiny cabin near Arizona’s Baboquivari Peak, this nature memoir records Erma J. Fisk’s five-month period living alone while working for the Nature Conservancy. At seventy-three, Fisk documented and banded birds in the foothills, making the book a firsthand account of field observation as well as an account of an extended stay in a remote landscape. The focus remains on the practical, day-to-day experience of studying birds and inhabiting the setting that shaped that work.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in birdwatching and bird-banding fieldwork
- Nature-memoir readers drawn to Arizona landscapes
- Those interested in firsthand accounts of conservation work
