The Peacocks of Baboquivari

Erma J. (Jonnie) Fisk, at seventy-three, lived alone for five months in a tiny cabin in the foothills of Arizona's Baboquivari Peak, recording and banding birds for the Nature Conservancy. This is her lively account of that adventure.

Summary

"A delightful memoir, a book that brings the reader right up close to the sights, sounds, smells, and scenery of an Arizona winter, and even closer into the equally fascinating mind and heart of a remarkable woman." -Russell W. Peterson
