Victor Emanuel is widely considered one of America’s leading
birders. He has observed more than six thousand species during
travels that have taken him to every continent. He founded the
largest company in the world specializing in birding tours and one
of the most respected ones in ecotourism. Emanuel has received some
of birding’s highest honors, including the Roger Tory Peterson
Award from the American Birding Association and the Arthur A. Allen
Award from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. He also started
the first birding camps for young people, which he considers one of
his greatest achievements. In One More Warbler, Emanuel recalls a
lifetime of birding adventures—from his childhood sighting of a
male Cardinal that ignited his passion for birds to a
once-in-a-lifetime journey to Asia to observe all eight species of
cranes of that continent. He tells fascinating stories of meeting
his mentors who taught him about birds, nature, and conservation,
and later, his close circle of friends—Ted Parker, Peter
Matthiessen, George Plimpton, Roger Tory Peterson, and others—who
he frequently birded and traveled with around the world. Emanuel
writes about the sighting of an Eskimo Curlew, thought to be
extinct, on Galveston Island; setting an all-time national record
during the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count; attempting to see
the Imperial Woodpecker in northwestern Mexico; and birding on the
far-flung island of Attu on the Aleutian chain. Over the years,
Emanuel became a dedicated mentor himself, teaching hundreds of
young people the joys and enrichment of birding. “Birds changed
my life,” says Emanuel, and his stories make clear how a deep
connection to the natural world can change everyone’s life.
