Is birding merely “sanctioned voyeurism?” Inquiry spends some time with writer, essayist and editor JONATHAN ROSEN talking about his new book THE LIFE OF THE SKIES: BIRDING AT THE END OF NATURE. In this very literate birding book, Rosen searches for the real meaning that lurks behind our impulse to watch and list birds. This is a thoughtful voyage of discovery that takes Rosen from watching spring migrants in Central Park, New York City to watching Hume’s Tawny Owl in Israel, quoting from Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Henry David Thoreau and the story of Baal Shem Tov along the way.
