Add that sense of impending doom to an atypical appearance and you get a bird that stirs strong emotions in people. But what actually snapped me out of documenter mode was disgust. This is a family site so I won’t mention the what it managed to extract from that bag of garbage. I happen to love them.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We sing about them, we paint them, we use them as mythic and poetic symbols for our spiritual and emotional feelings, we wear them in myriad and often colorful ways, we adopt them as household pets. So, I just sit here, amazed at this book.

It’s my fantasy and it’s yours: Quit the job, say good-bye to the family, and bird. how guides and drivers are found and where they live and what their families and homes look like, birder friends who accompany him on some legs of his quest, and the quirky people he ends up sharing beers with, in bars in huts on stilts.

Johnson does an excellent writing job here, balancing his emotional perspective, which has admittedly become obsessive, with a more balanced viewpoint that paints the characters he encounters with understanding, even when he is suspicious of them. And, well researched.

This bird represented only the second documented record of this species in Florida. However, I am in a fierce and highly emotional year list competition with Corey, and it looks like I will lose against him. Northern Florida represented a refreshing change of scenery and an opportunity to explore with a renewed sense of discovery.
