Edmund Jaeger
Edmund Carroll Jaeger, D.Sc.,〔 (University of California, Riverside, Science Library )〕 (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,〔 and moved to Riverside, California in 1906 with his family.〔 (Nita Hiltner, next reference, says the move was in 1910.)〕 He was the first to document, in ''The Condor'',〔 (photographs by Kenneth Middleham)〕 a state of extended torpor, approaching hibernation, in a bird, the common poorwill.〔 (Joseph Ewan, the preceding reference, says the move was in 1906.)〕 He also described this in the ''National Geographic Magazine''.
==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,〔 ((here for Table of Contents ))〕 and authors J. Smeaton Chase〔 and Charles Francis Saunders.〔 These men formed what University of Arizona Professor Peter Wild called a "Creative Brotherhood" that lived in Palm Springs in the early 20th century. Other Brotherhood members included cartoonist and painter Jimmy Swinnerton,〔 author George Wharton James,〔 and photographers Fred Clatsworthy〔 and Stephen H. Willard.〔 The men lived near each other (like Jaeger, Eytel built his own cabin), traveled together throughout the Southwest, helped with each other's works, and exchanged photographs which appeared in their various books.〔 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〔(Riverside Museum: Permanent Exhibits )〕 in Riverside. During all these years Jaeger used his Palm Springs cabin for his research trips across the desert. Throughout his career he wrote many popular nature books and became known as the "dean of the California deserts".
