Audrey DeLella Benedict is a biologist and writer, a naturalist in the classic tradition. She is the founder and director of Cloud Ridge Naturalists, a forty-year-old nonprofit natural history education and publishing program, and has guided trips from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Audrey is the author of several books, including The Salish Sea: Jewel of the Pacific Northwest and Explore the Salish Sea: A Nature Guide for Kids. Dr. Geoffrey Hammerson retired after 32 years as research zoologist for The Nature Conservancy and NatureServe, where his duties included coordinating conservation status assessments of North American birds. He has taught university courses focusing on bird biology for 40 years and has led hundreds of field trips across the western hemisphere, from the Arctic to southern South America and Antarctica. Dr. Robert Butler, ornithologist, author, filmmaker, artist, and adjunct professor of biological sciences at Simon Fraser University has watched, listened to, and lived among birds for 40 years in a variety of environments. His book, The Great Blue Heron, is considered a definitive study. He serves on the boards of the Nature Trust of British Columbia and the Pacific WildLife Foundation.
Reviews
"Visually stunning and expertly presented, [Pacific Flyway] spotlights bird migrations along the Pacific coast. In admiring prose, the authors marvel at seagulls, ducks, snow geese, and other 'feathered ambassadors.' Readers who want to learn about bird migrations will find this volume educational, while those simply in search of escape will find it a stimulating and scenic journey." --Publishers Weekly
