Synopsis: "A passport to the natural world" is how veteran wildlife photographer Bates Littlehales describes bird watching. In Bird Watch, his first book on a subject he has pursued for 15 years, Littlehales shares his enlightening perspective on the birds of North America.
Littlehales began taking the photographs in Bird Watch after a National Geographic magazine assignment on John James Audubon revived his boyhood interest in birds. In the spirit of the great naturalist, Littlehales is equally fascinated by the most familiar backyard visitors and the most rare wilderness species.
Whether he is focusing on endangered wood storks or common cardinals, Littlehales makes images which tell the story of how birds interact with each other and the world around them. Striving to feed its young, an Atlantic puffin alights on a rock in Maine with five capelins dangling from its beak. Courting boldly, a greater prairie-chicken on a "booming ground" in Texas advances toward a female with his tawny air sacs inflated. Poised to catch an insect on the wing, a vermilion fly catcher awaits his prey in a southeast Arizona canyon.
