Omschrijving

Clyde Burton grew up in a different country and a different century. At age 7, he hatched gulls' and seabird' eggs under hens in Harbour Buffett, an outport of the Dominion of Newfoundland. At age 15, he took an eagle chick from its nest and raised it. After graduating from high school, he worked as a Hudson's Bay Clerk on the Lower North Shore of Quebec, a bush pilot in Newfoundland, founded a Nature Sanctuary in Powell River, BC. His banding of trumpeter swans led to the discovery of a new flyway to their northern breeding grounds. Later, he became the bird guru of a naturalist club. Being a Newfoundlander he is a good storyteller with a fine turn of phrase. He arrived in Powell River, BC.in 1969 and spent the rest of his working life here. The love of his life and two of her children eventually followed him here.

The book is approximately 44,000 words, illustrated with photographs old and new.

The audience is birders everywhere especially readers in Powell River, B.C, Quebec and Newfoundland.
