Prairie Keepers: Secrets Of The Grasslands

Prairie Keepers: Secrets Of The Grasslands
de Marcy Houle(Ed. Da Capo Press) Isbn : 020160843X
14.16 €
Wildlife biologist Houle (Wings for My Flight, LJ 5/15/91) spent two and a half years studying the Zumwalt, a remote grassland in northeastern Oregon. Attracted by the large number of hawks in the area, she set out to determine how ranching has affected the plants and wildlife of one of the last native North American prairies. This work reads in large part like a mystery with a dash of romance. In the process of attempting to understand the region's biodiversity, Houle confounds and courts various ranchers and government employees. She has an excellent eye for detail but tends toward the overly dramatic (a truck becomes stuck in an "oozing coffin" of mud), and the book suffers from too many analogies and dialog that often sounds contrived. On the whole, however, this is an interesting work...

Illumination in the Flatwoods: A Season With the Wild Turkey

Illumination in the Flatwoods: A Season With the Wild Turkey
de Joe Hutto(Ed. The Lyons Press) Isbn : 1558216944
16.1 €
Wildlife artist Hutto embarked on an unusual study of wild turkeys: he obtained two dozen eggs, incubated them and imprinted himself on the hatchlings, with unexpected results. It was, he says, exhausting, enlightening and one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. His account of raising the brood is an engaging story of an unlikely relationship between species. For six months Hutto spent nearly every waking moment with the young turkeys (four males and 10 females reached maturity), accompanying them on walks in the flatlands of northern Florida, roosting with them at night (until they went to sleep) and observing their behavior. By late summer, he felt so much a part of the flock that smooth green grasshoppers began to look appetizing. In October, Hutto's flock met native wild tur...
