Notes from a Casual Birder: On Jonathan Meiburg’s A Most Remarkable Creature
Regular contributor Miyako Pleines reviews the latest book from ornithologist, writer and musician Jonathon Meiburg as he studies the fascinating caracara. “Perhaps the most striking thing about Meiburg’s book is not just that he paints the world of the caracara so vividly, but that alongside the history of these beautiful birds, Meiburg manages to tell a story of South America and its geography that is just as riveting as the birds of prey that call it home.”

This year, she returned to this same avian world with a new book titled The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent, and Think (Penguin Press, 2020).
