Amherst Reads December 2019: Life Through the Lens of a Doctor-Birder By John Fitchen '67

The tales in this book are about two grand passions: medicine and birds. Through the eyes of a physician and a birder, we witness the glory that is nature. From a remote Aleutian Island to his own backyard, and from the research lab to the bedside, we see what makes birders tick and doctors marvel.
