Erma Fisk, known to her friends as Jonnie, was a contented housewife until the sudden death of her husband. Mostly by accident (she claims) she became an amateur ornithologist and naturalist, winning awards as her horizons expanded to include research and birdbanding duties from Maine to Peru. On one occasion, in her early seventies, she lived alone in a remote cabin in Arizona. The Peacocks of Baboquivari was her highly acclaimed chronicle of that experience. Parrots’ Wood is a journal of another expedition, a month in Belize, Central America, spent on tropical research. While recounting her day-to-day experiences, Fisk reminisces on earlier times in her life. With honesty that brings tears as well as laughter, she writes of her life as a series of doors to be opened, and some to be shut. Irritated but undaunted by her eighty years, she continues to say yes to life’s challenges and encourages us to do so too.

For years Erma Fisk (Jonnie as she is known to her friends) has crisscrossed the globe, first with her husband as they traveled for the Department of Commerce, and more recently as an ornithologist and bird-bander. In addition to studying birds, she has gathered recipes and anecdotes wherever she has been, most often from other birdwatchers and their friends. Those who have sat at her table know she has more culinary tricks than you can shake a stick at. Those less fortunate have still had the pleasure of smelling her wonderful bread from afar. Now at last she has been persuaded to share the wealth with us in this delightful collection of food, people, and experiences that will charm even those who don't know a robin from a radish. Birdwatchers will benefit from her practical suggestions. But anyone can revel in her recipes from Lazy Biscuits and Spider Johnny Cake to Father Fisk's Rum Punch and Christmas-Count Pick Up.
