Bradford Torrey climbed Moosilauke and spent a week atop Mount Washington, watching birds where the trees give out and the wind never stops. His notes range from the White Mountains to the South, alert to every wing and bright leaf. Gentle, roaming bird-gazing from a master of the form. Take the trail upward with him.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
