Acclaimed wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch has been fascinated by the prairie grasslands for more than 40 years and in love with birds for even longer. His new book celebrates the beauty and biology of the beautiful world of prairie birds. Lynch travelled through rolling grassy plains, wetlands, lazy, winding rivers, sculpted badlands and more to find the amazing array of birds that make these varied habitats their home. Their complex and intriguing lives are explored and revealed through this new collection of photographs. The prairie grasslands are home to roughly 250 species of birds. Lynch has included birds from a variety of prairie habitats in order to include multiple species. Bird lovers will learn about how to identify the many different species, as well as where to find them, and about their dietary habits. From red-necked grebes and ruffed grouse to American white pelicans, Trumpeter swans and turkey vultures, close to 100 prairie birds are featured in Celebrating Prairie Birds.

"This volume of stories celebrates the incredible and indelible ways in which birds touch us, intrinsically as well as extrinsically. I hope it will encourage a greater awareness of and appreciation for these remarkable beings and a deep and abiding respect for and nurturing of their presence amongst us." -Ira Rubinoff, PhD, Director Emeritus and Senior Staff Scientist Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Welcome to the amazing world of birds, birders and bird watching. Birds have what we don't-the enchantment of wings! They lift and break free from the bounds of gravity, soar over lakes, mountains, treetops-a veritable moving feast of fascinating, unpredictable, and breathtaking movement that captures and defies our ability to control it. And we love them, because they represent the untamed wild in ourselves. The writings in this book evoke our deepest connections with birds and allow us to revel in the sense of mystery, magic, and devotion that we all feel for our feathered friends. Open to any page, start reading, and become one of the millions who know that the only piece of equipment you really need to begin birding is a book. Let your journey begin with this one.

Through the words and images of award-winning photographer and writer Gary Kramer, Game Birds: A Celebration of North American Upland Birds takes readers on a visual journey across North America in search of turkey, pheasant, quail, grouse, partridge, ptarmigan, prairie-chickens and the game birds of Hawaii. Among these are two on the brink of extinction, the masked bobwhite and Attwater's prairie-chicken; those that are struggling, such as the Gunnison sage-grouse and lesser prairie-chicken; abundant species that have been introduced from foreign lands including the chukar and ring-necked pheasant; as well as species that are widespread due to successful wildlife management efforts, like the wild turkey. Gary's photographs capture the range and diversity of their beauty and behavior, from the widespread and familiar northern bobwhite to the intricately marked Montezuma quail and the seldom photographed Himalayan snowcock. His compelling narrative is delivered with accuracy; each chapter has been reviewed by the top experts in the field. Containing 256 pages and 384 color photos, this volume is the most ambitious book ever attempted on gallinaceous birds, or as they are more commonly known, game birds. Gary may be the only individual to have ever photographed and published images of all 34 game birds found in the United States and Canada, making this book a milestone achievement. If you are an avid hunter, a serious birder or an armchair reader, Game Birds will provide you with range maps, natural history and conservation status and a photographic insight seldom revealed. Foreword by Howard K. Vincent, President and CEO Pheasants Forever, Inc. and Quail Forever. Includes references, conservation organizations, and dust jacket. This edition of Game Birds features the Ring-Necked Pheasant on the cover. A Wild Turkey cover is also available. The interiors of both books are identical.

The prairie grasslands are a wonderful and surprising mosaic of habitats, filled with sloughs and marshes, rolling dunescapes, lakes and rivers, wooded valleys and coulees, as well as large stretches of grassy plains. The many birds that inhabit this region are as diverse and fascinating as the land itself. Award-winning author, photographer, and naturalist Wayne Lynch brings together pictures, descriptions, and the unusual habits of his favourite prairie birds in this beautiful book. In his trademark entertaining style, he details the aerial chases of courting ducks, the sexual unfaithfulness of red-winged blackbirds, the hunting prowess of owls, and the murderous habits of wrens. Much more than a bird guide, Wild Birds Across the Prairies features detailed information about feeding and mating habits, wintering grounds, field and flight identification, and personal observations about each bird. Stunning colour photographs accompany the lively text, illustrating the distinct characteristics and environment of these birds. Wild Birds Across the Prairies is a celebration of the beauty and complexity of the prairie landscape and its avian inhabitants.

Become a better birder with brief portraits of 200 top North American birds. This friendly, relatable book is a celebration of the art, science, and delights of bird-watching. How to Know the Birds introduces a new, holistic approach to bird-watching, by noting how behaviors, settings, and seasonal cycles connect with shape, song, color, gender, age distinctions, and other features traditionally used to identify species. With short essays on 200 observable species, expert author Ted Floyd guides us through a year of becoming a better birder, each species representing another useful lesson: from explaining scientific nomenclature to noting how plumage changes with age, from chronicling migration patterns to noting hatchling habits. Dozens of endearing pencil sketches accompany Floyd's charming prose, making this book a unique blend of narrative and field guide. A pleasure for birders of all ages, this witty book promises solid lessons for the beginner and smiles of recognition for the seasoned nature lover.
