Tag along as he describes his outdoor adventures, from the wilds of West Virginia to the Galapagos Islands. And learn how to attract more wildlife to your backyard with food, nest boxes, and wildflowers.

Scott Shalaway (1952-2025) earned his PhD in wildlife ecology at Michigan State. After working first at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and then as a zoology professor at Oklahoma State University, he moved to West Virginia to fulfill his dream of becoming a freelance nature writer. Scott’s life “on the wild side” encompassed 33 years writing more than 2,000 columns, seven books, and several hundred magazine articles--many of which won writing awards. For 22 of those years, he also hosted live weekly radio shows in Pittsburgh and Wheeling, West Virginia. Scott led 13 birding tours to Mexico and 11 more to Ecuador, the Galapagos, Maine, the Everglades, southern Arizona, Hawk Mountain and Cape May.

This audiobook is brought to life by Scott's eldest daughter, author and voice actor Nora Shalaway Carpenter.
