A review by wickedplutoswickedreading
The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace Johnson

adventurous reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Fascinating read. Really interesting deep dive into the history of flytying as well as scientific discovery of birds. Interesting dive into the crime as well 

Made flytying, the most boring of rich people hobbies,  sound actually interesting. 

Poachers are a scourge upon the earth. 

Edwin Rist is a shitstain. May he and all his ilk be haunted by the ghosts of dead birds, Darwin, Audubon and Wallace.
The end.
