With his distinctively witty, anecdotal, and disarming voice, John Yow journeys to the shore and shares his encounters with some of the most familiar and beloved coastal birds. Out of his travels - from North Carolina's Outer Banks, down the Atlantic coast, and westward along the Gulf of Mexico - come colourful accounts of twenty-eight species.

With his distinctively witty, anecdotal, and disarming voice, John Yow now journeys to the shore and shares his encounters with some of the most familiar and beloved coastal birds. Out of his travels - from North Carolina's Outer Banks, down the Atlantic coast, and westward along the Gulf of Mexico - come colorful accounts of twenty-eight species, from ubiquitous beach birds like sanderlings and laughing gulls to wonders of nature like roseate spoonbills and the American avocets. Along the way, Yow delves deeply into the birds' habits and behaviors, experiencing and relating the fascination that leads many an amateur naturalist to become the most unusual of species--a birder.
