More From Roger Tory Peterson
- "Birds have wings; they’re free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy."
- "Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life – all life."
- "I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them."

- "Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it."― Barry Commoner
- "I wish I got a little bit more time at home. I am away a lot and being around my loved ones and friends is good for me. It grounds me. It’s something I need to make more time for. I think I need a little more balance."― Katherine Jenkins
