Puget Sound's rich abundance of life - from mammals to birds - can
be attributed to the fact that the region is far more than just a
body of water. Edged by an extraordinary range of habitats, this
region is visited and occupied year-round by species that are
finely tuned to exploit the resources here that are necessary for
their survival. Birds are among the most obvious occupants of these
communities, and witnessing their dynamic lives has been a source
of inspiration for artist and naturalist Tony Angell. For nearly
fifty years Angell has used Puget Sound's natural diversity as his
artist's palette. In this book, he describes the living systems
within the Sound and shares his observations and encounters with
the species that make up the complex communities of the Sound's
rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches: the fledging flight of a
young peregrine, an otter playfully herding a small red rockfish,
the grasp of a curious octopus. Angell goes on to explain the
methods he uses in his art. The shapes, movements, patterns, and
even temperatures and smells that he experiences in the field are
all brought to bear on his work. His drawings bring clarity to his
visual and emotional memories, and his sculptures allow him to
approach a memory from many directions and retain that memory in
his hands. In all of his work, he lets the passion and excitement
of his discoveries drive his artistic expression. Angell augments
his descriptions of the wildlife of the Puget Sound region and his
working methods with two appendices listing guides and references
to this and other regions by other artists and naturalists. These
resources not only put wildlife viewers in touch with the times and
places to view particular species, but also speak to the patience
and willingness to be delighted that are necessary to increasing
the understanding of our wild neighbors. See Tony Angell on
