Like Pyle's classic \u003ci\u003eChasing Monarchs, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMariposa Road\u003c\/i\u003e recounts his adventures, high and low, in tracking down butterflies in his own low-tech, individual way. Accompanied by Marsha, his cottonwood-limb butterfly net; Powdermilk, his 1982 Honda Civic with 345,000 miles on the odometer; and the small Leitz binoculars he has carried for more than thirty years, Bob ventured out in a series of remarkable trips from his Northwest home. From the California coastline in company with overwintering monarchs to the Far Northern tundra in pursuit of mysterious sulphurs and arctics; from the zebras and daggerwings of the Everglades to the leafwings, bluewings, and border rarities of the lower Rio Grande; from Graceland to ranchland and Kauai to Key West, these intimate encounters with the land, its people, and its fading fauna are wholly original. At turns whimsical, witty, informative, and inspirational, \u003ci\u003eMariposa Road\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary journey of discovery that leads the reader ever farther into butterfly country and deeper into the heart of the naturalist.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Mariposa Road: The First Butterfly Big Year | Robert Michael Pyle | Hardcover | 9780618945399 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1765771","offer_id":49375471829144,"sku":"1765771","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51tUSjY--lL.jpg?v=1783008531","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/mariposa-road-the-first-butterfly-big-year","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
