Description:
Scott Harris spent 17 months chasing 53 Raptor species across 34 states—his version of a Raptor Big Year. RaptorQuest is about his adventures, misadventures, successes and failures. From -36℉ days, to ones over 100℉, to getting on the bird just in time, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes. It’s about the birds—of course—but it’s also about the people he met, the things he learned, and why he’s already working on his next adventure.
Bio:
Scott Harris became an avid birder when he and his wife, Randi, retired to South Carolina in March of 2020. It was a hobby he never imagined himself participating in, but now can’t imagine living without. He has since added a fascination with mammals and has sold his photographs around the world.
In addition to his writing, Scott also hosts a podcast – NaturallyScott – that focuses on birds, wildlife and the great outdoors, and just signed a multi-book deal that includes his upcoming book – Why We Love Birds: 52 Birders on Birding.
His interests and hobbies include the largest collection of John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley in the world, playing harmonica in a blues band, and he has written more than fifty books in the past ten years - though the one he’ll be discussing today is his first entrée into the world of birding and birds.
