Vignettes of a Birder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500998790)

Explore a whole new world with Pamela Conley's beautiful nature memoir, Vignettes of a Birder.

As a regular columnist for the Bodega Bay Navigator for twelve years, Conley never tired of writing about her passion for birds and the great outdoors. These columns have now been compiled into a stunning collection that showcases the very best of what the natural world has to offer those who are prepared to stop and listen.

Divided into six distinct sections that trace the arc of Conley's journey from naive twenty-six-year-old flight attendant to passionate nature advocate, Vignettes of a Birder depicts the radical changes that can occur when the beauty of nature is heeded.

Readers will be astonished at how bird-watching truly changed the course of Conley's life, from encouraging her to explore her passion for writing and involving her in environmental issues, to introducing her to her soul mate-and even saving her life. Over the course of Conley's many adventures, meditations, and reflections, fellow birders may even recognize themselves in the author's passionate enthusiasm.

A must-read for bird lovers and nature lovers alike, Conley's memoir acts as a voice for the musical creatures she has grown to love so much.
