Roger Tory Peterson was an American naturalist, ornithologist, artist, and educator, and thought to be one of the inspirations for the 20th century environmental movement. Peterson published his first work at the age of 17 in 1925. He worked on revising and publishing works until his death in 1996. Peterson’s birds are a great addition to our product line. With millions of “birders” in the United States, these items make a great gift.
