About This Item
The Private Eye: Observing Snow Geese, Burns, Mary. Published by University of British Columbia Press, Vancouver, B.C., 1996. First Edition. 207pp. with black and white photos, index. Ivory cloth boards with blue spine titles. In fine, unread condition and housed in a fine, unclipped jacket.
A kaleidoscopic view of the northern water fowl. Native people harvest them, scientists track their movements, artists portray them, hunter lure and stalk them, dairy farmers put up with them, and Canadian fiction writer and playwright Burns herself prepares one for supper. She includes many black-and-white photographs of people and birds.
