About this title: Eliot Porter's contribution to the photography of birds is comparable to the work of Audubon, where the final picture is as much a statement as the study of the bird itself. It was Porter's hope that by showing these birds in their natural habitats, the public would gain a love and appreciation of them and make every effort to stop the destruction of their nesting areas. At the time of Porter's studies, some of thebirds photographed were very rare, some are now extinct. The book is a plea to preserve the music of these songbirds as well as a tribute to those that have vanished forever.
