Summary: "Our Search for a Wilderness" by Mary Blair Beebe and C. William Beebe is a scientific account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the authors' ornithological expeditions to Venezuela and British Guiana, exploring the diverse wildlife and ecosystems of these regions. It presents an intimate perspective on the rich array of bird species encountered, as well as observations of their natural habitats. The opening of the book introduces the Beebes' exciting journey, beginning with their departure from New York in February 1908. They embark on a small sloop headed towards the Orinoco Delta, with a strong desire to discover untouched wilderness. As they navigate through the waters, they experience rough seas before finally reaching the mangrove-laden wilderness. Initial disappointment in not seeing much wildlife quickly turns to awe as the vibrant colors of various birds, including the stunning Scarlet Ibis, begin to appear against the backdrop of the lush, untamed landscape. This section sets the tone for the Beebes' explorations—an ongoing quest to uncover the vivid life and beauty of the jungle while documenting their findings on avian species and the surrounding environment.
