Product Description
The book John James Audubon would have made if he had used a camera. Brushing aside rattlesnakes on Green Island, Texas, or enduring the bitter cold of an Alaskan winter, Theodore Cross has pursued waterbirds with passion. On four continents, from the tundra of eastern Siberia to the tropical islands of the South Pacific, he has captured elegant and unusual birds—from auklets and egrets to gannets and sanderlings—in peak action, be they courting, landing on a perch, plunge diving, or engaged in aerobatics.
These breathtaking photographs are accompanied by gracefully written field notes and fascinating accounts of the birds’ habits and habitat. The book is introduced by an extended anecdotal essay giving insights and observations of the extraordinary man who, at age eighty-five, is as eager to track down an eagle in Alaska as he was when he began photographing in midlife.
179 color photos.

Beautiful Photographs of Waterbirds July 6, 2010
ChloeWalker
Theodore Cross has captured the beauty and diversity of waterbirds. He not only displays the birds' vast array of sizes, shapes, colors and behaviors but writes with love and humor of his observations and interactions with these extraordinary creatures.

The most beautiful collection of bird photographs I have ever seen. Each one could be framed.The best bird book since Sibley, and to paraphrase one reviewer "This would have been his book if Audubon had had a camera." Each page is a new breathtaking experience. Worth every penny of the purchase price.

A dear friend loves and raises rare, exotic South American and African birds at his home in SAnta Barbara. "Waterbirds" was a present, and he said the book is fabulous.
