This is a watershed year for me, because I just turned 80! It also marks the 50th Anniversary of my first visit to Hawaii, a trip that largely determined the direction of the rest of my life. Fifty years on I find myself still working on what will likely be my last book, The Birds of the Tropical Pacific: Hawaii, Micronesia, and Polynesia for Princeton University Press (see a hrefaproposednewedition.html target_self>Next Book/a> for details). It represents a long overdue revision of my highly successful 1987 field guide (which is still in print after nearly four decades!). I am sad to report that in the half century I have studied the birds of the tropical Pacific, I have observed at least nine species that are now extinct or extinct in the wild, plus several more that are on the brink, including the two shown above. The Akikiki may already be gone from the forests of Kauai by the time you read this. That may be more extinct species than anyone else has seen, but I am not bragging. I just hope that the new book will help to alleviate this ongoing biodiversity crisis./i>br /> br /> i>Much has happened since my last major update in 2020, including the Covid-19 pandemic. Unrelated to that, I experienced another health scare in April 2022 when a "routine" aortic valve replacement resulted in a tamponade (bleeding around the heart) that nearly killed me. I am happy to say that it did not and I have recovered (with a pacemaker) and returned to my work. I have now remained cancer-free for nine years. I am still living independently in my "cabin in the woods" and hope to do so for many more years. I remain active in my music, which gets me out of the house, and I make a conscious effort not to become a hermit. I think the fact that I have goals remaining and something productive to focus on each day helps keep me looking ahead. After eight decades I am happy to be upright and coherent, which is more than I can say for many of my contemporaries./i>br /> br /> i>Thank you all for taking a look at my website, which is mainly an illustrated autobiography but with opportunities to purchase some of my artwork. I hope you enjoy it.br /> br /> Doug/i>br /> img srcphotos/doug_with_camera_forweb.jpg alt height200 width200 alignright border1 hspace3 vspace3 />br /> br /> br /> br /> font size-1>February 2022/font>br /> Dr. Pratt was the featured interview in the November 2021 issue of i>Birding /i>magazine - a hrefjournal_articles/birding_nov2021_prattinterview.pdf target_blank>Click here to see the article/a>.br /> br /> br /> br /> br /> font size-1>August 2020/font>br /> i>Dear Friends,br /> Welcome to my newly refurbished and updated website, the first major revision since 2013. Once again, my trusty web designer Josh Southern has worked his magic on the design to create a fresh new look. A lot has happened in the past seven years, some good, some bad, and this letter is a quick overview. I am writing this at the end of 2020, a year that has been a struggle for all of us, but there is at least some good news.br /> br /> The most significant event, and one reason this revision was so long in coming, was the diagnosis in January 2015 that I had Burkitts lymphoma, a fast-moving and aggressive cancer that was already at Stage 4. I might well have been dead within a few months, but through the wonders of modern medicine and an excellent medical team led by Dr. Jeremiah Boles at the UNC cancer center, the support of dozens of friends, and particularly the help of my faithful partner Rod Hester, I am here today to tell about it. I underwent several months of chemotherapy (where you are poisoned in the hope that the cancer will die before you do) and, amazingly, I emerged in complete remission. As of August 2020, I have been cancer-free for five years, and have "graduated" from the cancer clinic.br /> br /> Chemotherapy is no stroll in the park, and it is one of those things that isnt over when its over. It was two years before I was back to anything like my previous level of work, and I still feel the lingering effects. My battle with cancer was a major setback, and I may never return to the level of productivity I had in the past. Father Time and Mother Nature are also not helping. But Im alive and reclaiming my life. Here are some of the latest milestones:br /> br /> /i>1) New book plan with new coauthor: i>Phil Bruner, my good friend and coauthor on the 1987 /i>Field Guide to the Birds of Hawaii and the Tropical Pacifici>, could not participate in the new version (see a hrefaproposednewedition.html target_self>Next Book/a>), so I am very fortunate that Dr. Eric VanderWerf has agreed to become my new coauthor. He has vast experience in the region and is a widely respected ornithologist, birder, and conservationist, not to mention a longtime friend. He is younger than I and so will be able to keep this book, which has become the standard bird reference for the region, updated well into the future. We have a new contract with Princeton University Press, now that it looks like I will live to finish what will likely be my last major project. Look for publication some time in 2023.br /> br /> /i>img srcimages/guamtriptychsmall.gif alt height135 width310 alignright border0 hspace3 vspace3 />2) The "Guam Triptych":i>: The first major piece of artwork I attempted after chemo was a commission from Frank Farrell, a San Francisco physician who grew up on Guam. He had waited patiently for a decade for me to paint a commemoration of the lost native birds of Guam in one of the worlds greatest ecological catastrophes. To paint the birds life size required three panels, hence the term "triptych". Dr. Farrell wanted these paintings to serve an educational purpose on the island, and so the Guam Museum had them reproduced as posters, titled "The Native Birds of Guam" (for details, see /i>a hrefArt_Gallery/privatecommissions.html target_self>i>Private Commissions/i>/a>i>). I had a bit of a struggle at first, but after the first few birds, I knew I was back. My illustration skills had survived cancer, and I think the results are some of my best work. Excerpts decorate this new website.br /> br /> /i>3) Ornithology: i>I have remained active in ornithology, and even during chemotherapy was able to finish two major coauthored papers, one on the birds of Samoa with John Mittermeier and another on the avifauna of Kosrae in Micronesia, with Floyd Hayes and Carlos Ciancini (see a hrefmybibliography.html target_self>My Bibliography/a>). These were the first of several papers that will contribute to the New Book. Others are recently, or about to be, published. I also serve on Bird Records Committees for Hawaii and Palau and remain active in professional organizations. I particicpated in the North American Ornithological Conference in Washington DC (2016), the International Ornithological Congress in Vancouver, BC, Canada (2018), and the virtual NAOC in 2020.br /> br /> /i>4) ABA Bird of the Year: i> In September 2017 I was deeplyimg srcimages/aba_birding_2018birdoftheyear_cover_small.jpg alt height155 width200 alignright border1 hspace3 vspace3 /> honored to be chosen to paint the American Birding Associations Bird of the Year for 2018. It was the Iiwi, an iconic Hawaiian honeycreeper, in commemoration of the addition of Hawaii to the ABA Area, a change that I had advocated and campaigned for over decades. I had to scramble to finish the painting by years end, but I am pleased with the result, which made a beautiful cover for /i>Birdingi> magazine.br /> br /> /i>5) Music: i> I am also back in another aspect of my life. One of the perks of winning the contest is performing in a Winners Showcase the next year. Unfortunately, the 2020 festival had to be postponed at least until 2021, but they put together a virtual one that included a virtual showcase. For my contribution to it, see the a hrefmusic.html target_self>Music/a> section. In 2019, I once again (last time was in 2006) won the International Autoharp Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS. I have also begun to perform semiprofessionally at various music festivals including the Northwest Autoharp Gathering (NWAG) in Oregon, the Mountain Laurel autoharp Gathering (MLAG) in Pennsylvania, and the Lagniappe Dulcimer Fete in Port Allen, Louisiana.br /> br /> Well, I think that is all. There is a lot to do here, so take your time and enjoy your exploration. Please let me know if you think of ways to improve this website.br /> br /> Doug Prattbr /> /i>i>br /> br /> br /> br /> /i>/div> div
