About the author

Peter A. Anastasi appears to have written or co-written a small body of wildlife books connected with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In Fifty Birds of Town and City, he is credited as associate editor alongside illustrator-editor Bob Hines, and Project Gutenberg also lists him as the co-author of that book.

His name is also associated with Migration of Birds, a well-known bird-migration guide that Project Gutenberg and the Biodiversity Heritage Library list under Frederick Charles Lincoln and Steven R. Peterson, with Peter A. Anastasi among the credited contributors. Taken together, these records suggest that his published work centered on helping general readers understand birds through accessible, educational writing.

Reliable biographical details about his life beyond those publications were not easy to confirm from available sources, so this overview focuses on the work that could be verified.
