For much of his life, the closest Bob Tarte got to a nature walk
was the stroll from parking lot to picnic table on family outings.
But then a chance sighting of a dazzling rose-breasted grosbeak in
wife-to-be Linda's backyard prompts a fascination with birds, which
he had never cared about before in the least. Soon he is obsessed
with spotting more and more of them-the rarer the better-and
embarks on a bumpy journey to improve his bumbling birding skills.
Along the way, Tarte offers readers a droll look at the pleasures
and pitfalls he encounters, introduces a colorful cast of fellow
birders from across the country, and travels to some of the premier
birding sites in the Midwest, including Point Pelee, Magee Marsh,
Tawas Point State Park, and even Muskegon Wastewater System. This
funny, heartfelt memoir will appeal to birders of all skill levels
as well as to anyone who knows and loves a birder.
