BCR 117: Scott Weidensaul, Author and Naturalist
Scott Weidensaul has written more than two dozen books, including his widely acclaimed Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds (North Point 1999), which was a finalist for the 2000 Pulitzer Prize. His latest book is the Peterson Reference Guide to Owls of North America and the Caribbean, which was published in 2015.
Weidensaul’s writing has appeared in dozens of publications, including Audubon (for which he is a contributing editor), Bird Watcher’s Digest and National Wildlife, among many others. He lectures widely on conservation, nature and directs the ornithological programs for National Audubon’s famed Hog Island Center on the coast of Maine.
In addition to writing about wildlife, Weidensaul is an active field researcher whose work focuses on bird migration. He is a co-director of Project Owlnet, a collaborative effort among nearly 125 banding and research stations across North America studying owl migration, and for nearly 20 years he has directed a major effort to study the movements of northern saw-whet owls, one of the smallest and least-understood raptors in North America.
Weidensaul co-founded Project SNOWstorm, which uses cutting-edge tracking technology to study snowy owls, and is a founder of the Critical Connections project, which is tracking the migration of birds that breed on National Park lands in Alaska. He is also part of a continental effort to understand the rapid evolution, by several species of western hummingbirds, of a new migratory route and wintering range in the East.
