Quotable Birder

Birds of all species, from hummingbirds to eagles, have long inspired great minds to even greater heights. Anyone with a bird feeder in their backyard will understand why. Avian antics amuse us, their beauty renders us inarticulate, and their feats of endurance suggest the awesome mysteries of nature. However, the infatuation with birds goes far beyond the realm of the birdwatchers. It infects poets, playwrights, politicians, comedians, and explorers alike. Leaf through the pages of The Quotable Birder to enjoy sentiments witty, profound, wise, and joyful, among the hundreds of quotes from such luminaries as: Andy Warhol, Steven Wright, John James Audubon, Geoffrey Chaucer, Nikita Kruschev, William Jefferson Clinton, Emily Dickinson, Isak Dinesen, Al Franken, John Keats, Charles Lamb, Winston Churchill, Roger Tory Peterson, Christopher Marlowe, Ogden Nash, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Muhammad Ali, Charles Darwin, Dr. Seuss, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and others.
