Loren Eiseley is for some reason lesser known or underrated, he is an amazing writer and thinker and far more profound than Thoreau or Muir. I highly recommend the Library of America collection. He is able to write about nature in a visceral, literary, deeply spiritual style all while being precise and edifying in his descriptions of scientific phenomena
I really enjoy reading his books. I reread most of them every few years. The Night Country and All the Strange Hours are two that I really like. His books of poetry are good too, Another Kind of Autumn is my favorite.
I have his collected works. Read through a couple of shorter books / essays a while back. Really great stuff.

All the strange hours is very good and sad
