Description: Leonard Nathan is on a quest - to spot the elusive Snow Bunting - and, as with all obsessions, it rules his hours, both waking and sleeping.

In Diary of a Left-Handed Birdwatcher, he invites us along on his lively personal journey: through long hours standing silently in a Druid-like circle of fellow birdwatchers knee-deep in a mosquito-swarmed marsh; in feisty conversations with his ornithologist friend; in dreams where he encounters birds of unimaginable beauty; and in the words of poets, who through time, have praised these fascinating, inspiring creatures of flight.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-142).
