Did anyone say Paul Rezendes, yet? I don’t like that he mentions his cat being outside but other than that he’s an interesting read if you’re especially into tracking.
Speaking of Richard Powers, he talks about some of his favorite nature writers/books in this article from a couple of days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/books/review/by-the-book-richard-powers.html

I really enjoyed Where Song Began by Tim Low (I am in Australia), as well as E. O. Wilson and Gerald Durrell.

Also Bernie Krause’s writings and nature sound recordings are fascinating.
I remember my Mum reading me Gerald Durrell when I was young - I wonder if that was a factor in me getting so into animals as I grew up?
My favourite book I’ve read recently is called The Invention of Nature” by Andrea Wulf. It’s a biography of the naturalist Alexander Humboldt, and it’s incredibly inspiring - it makes you want to get out there and explore!
