Chandler Seymour Robbins (July 17, 1918 - March 20, 2017) was an American ornithologist. His contributions to the field include co-authorship of an influential field guide to birds, as well as organizing the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Bertel Bruun (November 13, 1937 - September 21, 2011) was a naturalist, international conservationist and neurologist. Bruun wrote many books and was the co-author of The Golden Field Guide to Birds of North America first published in 1966.[2] He later became very involved in conservation efforts, most especially in the Middle East where he served as a liaison between the Israel and Egypt to promote the preservation of wildlife in the Sinai Peninsula. Herbert Spencer Zim (July 12, 1909 - December 5, 1994) was a naturalist, author, editor and educator best known as the founder (1945) and editor-in-chief of the Golden Guides series of nature books. Zim wrote or edited more than one hundred books on science, and in a thirty-year career teaching introduced laboratory instruction into introductory school science. Arthur Singer, one of America's best known bird painters, was born in 1917 in New York City. His fascination with wildlife began early, with regular visits to the Bronx Zoo. By his mid-teens, Singer had already created a substantial body of early work, compositions drawn from first-hand observations of big game animals and birds at the zoo. His interest in wildlife art led him directly to the work of Audubon and Fuertes as well as a vision of what he later hoped to accomplish. After a formal art education at the Cooper Union and 4 years of service in the war, he settled into family life and a job as an art director, while pursuing his dream of being a wildlife artist. After the set of prints State Birds commissioned for the American Home Magazine had achieved enormous success, Singer was offered several contracts to illustrate books on birds. The year was 1958 and Singer became a full-time bird painter. Birds of North America is still regarded as his best known work. Spot the silhouette of a Northern Goshawk in flight. Identify the raucous call of the Red-winged Blackbird. Discover the secret of picking out a Chipping Sparrow from its look-alike cousins.
