Attending Alaska's Birds is Juneau author, Jim King's 60 year memoir. It covers a dramatic period in Alaska's history, a time when the people increased five-fold to over 600 thousand. King arrived in Alaska in 1949 at the age of 21. He describes life as a pilot/game warden, a refuge manager, a flyway biologist and an expert at enumerating birds while whizzing over them in a small plane.
The story covers a series of accomplishments including learning to fly in northern Alaska and game law enforcement for the pre-statehood Alaska Game Commission. This is a compelling narrative about Alaskan life, conservation issues, wild bird habits, history, geography, and personal adventure.
