Annie Proulx, one of America's finest writers, invites us to share her experience in the building of her new home on a rich plot of untouched, unspoilt prairie & her pleasure in uncovering of the layers of American history locked beneath the topsoil. ' Bird Cloud' is the name Annie Proulx gave to 640 acres of Wyoming wetlands & prairie & 400 foot cliffs plunging down to the North Platte River. On the day she first visited, a cloud in the shape of a bird hung in the evening sky. Proulx also saw pelicans, bald eagles, golden eagles, great blue herons, ravens, scores of bluebirds, harriers, kestrels, elk, deer & a dozen antelope. She knew she had to purchase the l&, then owned by the Nature Conservancy, & she knew what she would build on it
- a house in harmony with her work, her appetites & her character
- a library surrounded by bedrooms & a kitchen. Proulx's first non-fiction in more than twenty years, Bird Cloud is the story of building that house
- solar panels, a Japanese soak tub, a concrete floor, elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets
- & an enthralling natural history & archeology of the region, inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho & Shoshone Indians. It is also a family history, going back to nineteenth century Mississippi river boat captains & Canadian settlers, & an illuminating autobiography. Proulx, a writer with extraordinary powers of observation & compassion, turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books & long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials & maps, & how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time.

Many birders shy away from certain activities like sea-watching & seem to 'miss out' on some spectacular sights such as the migration of thousands of birds in the autumn because they find the birds too tricky to identify or haven't the field skills to get good views.
