Nineteen pieces from a birding life

Originally published in 1986, Tales of a Low-Rent Birder gathers nineteen essays and sketches written between 1977 and 1985. Its compact, piece-by-piece structure makes it a collection rather than a single continuous narrative, centered on birding as its stated subject. With 173 pages of work from across nearly a decade, the book offers a period snapshot of one writer’s engagement with birdwatching.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Birdwatchers interested in essay collections
  • Nature readers who enjoy short-form nonfiction
  • Readers seeking birding writing from the late 1970s and early 1980s
