Some of My Favorite Things reflect my many years of birding. As a hobby, an obsession, birds have dominated a substantial part of my life. To support my birding activities, I have been fortunate to have worked/lived in several national park areas and/or National Park Service offices. In succeeding order, they included Crater Lake in Oregon, Pinnacles and Death Valley in California, Zion in Utah, Big Bend in Texas, Santa Fe in New Mexico, Washington D.C., and Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina. Most of the birds included in Some of My Favorite Things, is the result of those diverse opportunities. Some of My Favorite Things includes a grand total of 90 species, 84 of which are photographs. Additional photographs are included to illustrate perinate habitats and/or characteristics.

Autorenporträt
Roland H. Wauer retired from the National Park Service in 1989, after a 32-year career as a park ranger at Crater Lake National Park (NP), Death Valley NP, Pinnacles NM, Zion NP, and Big Bend NP; Southwest Region Chief Scientist (1972-78), and Chief of Natural Resources in the Washington, DC Office (197 2-83). During the later period he coordinated two NPS State of the Parks reports, developed the Service-wide Natural Resource Management Trainee Program, and served as Chairman of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Steering Committee. His final two NPS assignment were at Great Smoky Mountains NP as Assistant Superintendent, where he coordinated the Interagency Biosphere Reserve Program, and in the Caribbean, working with the Virgin Islands Government to establish a Territorial Park System; the Salt River Bay Historical Park and Ecological Preserve evolved from that final assignment. Since 1989, he has spent much time traveling and writing. He also served as a member of the National Academy of Science Committee on Science in the National Parks (1990-2001), a member of the Board of Trustees of the National Parks Association (1995-2001), and a member of the Board of Scientists of the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute (1980-2000). In addition, he has written and published 27 books on the National Parks and birds and butterflies.
