Scott Harris became an avid birder when he and his wife, Randi, retired to South Carolina in March of 2020. It was a hobby he never imagined himself participating in, but now can’t imagine living without. He has since added a fascination with mammals and has sold his photographs around the world.

His first birding book, RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors, followed a 17-month journey across 34 states as he attempted to see all 53 species of raptors found in the Lower 48—a birder’s version of a Big Year. The book chronicled the adventures, misadventures, successes, failures, and remarkable people he encountered along the way.

His newest book, Why We Love Birds: 52 Birders on Birding, will be released this spring. Scott interviewed 52 of the most prominent and interesting birders in the country and asked each of them the same five questions: Spark Bird, Nemesis Bird, Favorite Bird, 1st Field Guide, and Favorite Birding Day.

Their answers are surprising, funny, moving, and deeply personal—and he looks forward to sharing them with you.
