Edmund Jaeger documented a state of near-hibernation in the common poorwill.

Edmund Carroll Jaeger, D.Sc.,[1] (January 28, 1887 – August 2, 1983) was an American biologist known for his works on desert ecology. He was born in Loup City, Nebraska to Katherine (née Gunther) and John Philip Jaeger,[3]: V.I, p.159  and moved to Riverside, California in 1906 with his family.[4] He was the first to document, in The Condor,[5] a state of extended torpor, approaching hibernation, in a bird, the common poorwill.[6] He also described this in the National Geographic Magazine.[7]

Life

Jaeger first attended the newly relocated Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles (in 1914), but moved to Palm Springs in 1915, where he taught at the one-room schoolhouse. At Palm Springs he met artist Carl Eytel,[8]: 168–71  and authors J. Smeaton Chase[8] and Charles Francis Saunders.[8][9] These men formed what University of Arizona Professor Peter Wild called a "Creative Brotherhood"[3] that lived in Palm Springs in the early 20th century. Other Brotherhood members included cartoonist and painter Jimmy Swinnerton,[8] author George Wharton James,[8] and photographers Fred Payne Clatworthy[8][10] and Stephen H. Willard.[8] The men lived near each other (like Jaeger, Eytel built his own cabin),[11] traveled together throughout the Southwest, helped with each other's works, and exchanged photographs which appeared in their various books.[3] He then returned to Occidental to complete his degree in 1918 and started teaching at Riverside Junior College. Retiring from teaching after 30 years, he worked the Riverside Municipal Museum[12] in Riverside. During all these years Jaeger used his Palm Springs cabin for his research trips across the desert.[citation needed] Throughout his career he wrote many popular nature books and became known as the "dean of the California deserts".[13][14]
