Follow the first year adventures of a male Scarlet Tanager - from inside
the egg, the nest, first flight, tree-top summer "school", migration
south over the Cape and Islands, down south over the Smokies, the
Caribbean, Central America, three ranges of the Andes and on to four
rainy season months in Manu National Park in the south Peruvian Amazon -
with no credit cards or GPS!  The return trip north and his future
bride's search for her chosen mate will round out the program.  See the
fabulous places, new friends and enemies this brilliant bird has to deal
with before he is even one year old.

 

Peter Alden of Concord, MA, has led birding tours, cruises, safaris and
nature tours to over 100 countries on 7 continents over the past 50
years.  His 15 books on birding and nature have sold over two million
copies, including the popular Audubon Field Guide to New England.  Among
his many accomplishments, Peter organized the world's first Biodiversity
Day in 1998 with a follow up in 2009 for E.O. Wilson's 80th birthday.
He is a past president of the Nuttall Ornithological Club and the
Brookline Bird Club.  For more information, visit his website at
