The author spent over 30 years as a Fish and Wildlife Technician with The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. His duties included work with wild bald eagles and golden eagles in New York. This involved climbing trees to nests to band eaglets, capture efforts of eagles at large so they could be fit with trackers, and other eagle related activities. In this book, he recounts his experiences from the field and provides numerous photographs and anecdotes to help tell the story. There are also chapters on basic eagle biology, eagle history in New York, and non-eagle aspects of the author's career. Included too are biographical chapters on the author's childhood and early career that explain how he happened to work with eagles and become "The Eagle Guy".
