Ron Joseph, a passionate birder, grew up in rural Maine and spent more than thirty years working throughout the state as a wildlife biologist. Bald Eagles, Bear Cubs, and Hermit Bill is a compilation of more than forty stories from his early years spanning his adult life working in the woods and along the coast. Among other adventures, Joseph learned to drive a hay truck at ten, was once rescued by a hermit, visited lumber camps, counted deer dung, and tracked the return of eagles to the state sky. The book includes an introduction by Paul Doiron, author of the Mike Bowditch series of Maine crime novels and former editor-in-chief of Down East magazine.
