In The Private Eye we learn about snow geese through the eyes of Native people, scientists, artists, hunters, and farmers. Yup?ik Eskimo Charles Hunt harvests snow geese along the Yukon River delta each fall, continuing a subsistence way of life that has existed for millennia. Russian, Canadian, and U.S. scientists track the movements of the geese each spring and fall, banding, sexing, counting, and precisely monitoring the activities of these beautiful birds. Robert Bateman provides an artist?s view of nature and relates how his curiosity led him to join a camp set up at a remote nesting site.
