Welcome to Arctic Wings!
Arctic Wings is a spectacular tribute to the birds that have journeyed to the Arctic Refuge and back every year since time immemorial. Conceived by Stephen Brown, Director of Manomets Shorebird Conservation Research Program, in collaboration with photographer Subhankar Banerjee (author of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land in 2003), Arctic Wings features a foreword by Jimmy Carter, and 200 color images from award-winning nature photographers Subhankar Banerjee, Steven Kazlowski, Michio Hoshino, Arthur Morris, Mark Wilson, and Hugh Rose. Chapters cover the life histories of bird species from every major group including loons and waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, gulls and terns, owls, and songbirds, and highlight the vital importance of the Arctic Refuge for world bird populations that connect all of us, no matter where we live, to these northernmost breeders.
