Infos

Growing up as the only child of a woodcarver with a passion for birds was strange enough. But when I acquired a sibling, life got weird-considering that sibling was a museum.The milestones of my childhood involved hiking through bogs, snipping foliage out of aluminum pie pans, driving an opinionated tractor, and handing out pamphlets as a child activist. Through it all was my father, Bob Spear, a force of nature disguised as a quiet man. He created the Birds of Vermont Museum through vision and will. He caught me up in his dream, and working beside him, I grew into myself as well. The museum and I were shaped by his guidance and thrived on his love.And a lot of pie and ice cream.All the pieces in this collection were previously published in Chip Notes, the Birds of Vermont Museum's newsletter, except "e;My Father and the Camp,"e; which is brand new.
