Rare Bird: Pursuing the Mystery of the Marbled Murrelet
by: Mudd-Ruth, Maria
Part naturalist detective story, part environmental inquiry, this vibrant
narrative celebrates the fascinating world of an endangered seabird that
depends on the contested old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest for
its survival 'This chunky little seabird stole my heart.' So confesses
Maria Mudd Ruth, a veteran nature writer perfectly happy to be a generalist
before getting swept up in the strange story of the marbled murrelet.
This curiosity of nature, who flies like a little brown bullet at up to
100 miles an hour and lives most of its life offshore, is seen around
land only during breeding season, when the female lays a single egg high
on a mossy tree limb in the ancient coastal forest. 298 pgs.
