I’ve spent a lot of time in, and done a lot of writing about, the Rocky Mountains, their beauty, their climate moods, and the wildlife that lives here.

Timothy Barksdale is a birder, Prairie Chicken documentarian , and wildlife videographer well-known for his stunning Adventures with Birdman. That is a very human thing and from what I know, I believe this film will bring out the humanness of birding along with so many other wonderful aspects. Or perhaps even better Show Them.

But birds and all animals need proper habitat.

Birds, mammals and other wildlife, humans and landscapes are all rendered magnificently. But the main attraction of the book, it must be said, is not Clavreul’s prose but his artistry in watercolor. Maybe that’s so because he worked entirely from life and not photographs, he says.

Reading Deb's post about the goslings at Poplar and getting Jenny 's request to sign a petition to save the Canada geese of Ballwin, Missouri from mass extermination reminded me how much I miss the wildlife at the neighborhood we lived in from 2002-early 2005. Not to be confused with Little Girl, of course.
