　　Arriving in the New World, Europeans were awestruck by acontinent awash with birds. Today tens of millions of Americansbirders have made a once eccentric hobby into something somainstream it's (almost) cool. Scott Weidensaul traces the colorfulevolution of American birding: from the frontier ornithologists whocollected eggs between border skirmishes to the society matrons whoorganized the first effective conservation movement; from theluminaries with checkered pasts, such as convicted blackmailerAlexander Wilson and the endlessly self-mythologizing John JamesAudubon, to the awkward schoolteacher Roger Tory Peterson, whose "AField Guide to the Birds" prompted the explosive growth of modernbirding.
