Brushing aside rattlesnakes on Green Island, Texas, or
enduring the bitter cold of an Alaskan winter, Theodore
Cross has pursued waterbirds with passion. On four
continents, from the tundra of eastern Siberia to the
tropical islands of the South Pacific, he has captured
elegant and unusual birds—from auklets and egrets to gannets
and sanderlings—in peak action, be they courting, landing on
a perch, plunge diving, or engaged in aerobatics. These
breathtaking photographs are accompanied by gracefully
written field notes and fascinating accounts of the birds’
habits and habitat. The book is introduced by an extended anecdotal essay giving
insights and observations of the extraordinary man who, at
age eighty-five, is as eager to track down an eagle in
Alaska as he was when he began photographing in midlife. 179
color photos.
