Shouldn’t I be much more worried about people in a catastrophe the size of the F5 that hit Joplin, Missouri? Kelly Preheim was talking about the large numbers of Snowy Owls on the nearby National Wildlife Refuge. About 4 years ago, I met a kindergarten teacher in Armour, SD, about 10-12 air miles away from Delmont.

Second, it was wiltingly hot and compressingly humid, as one might expect in Missouri in the summer in the middle of the day – and not only does such weather discourage birders, it takes a toll on the birds as well. And, of course, creeping people out, however inadvertently, doesn’t make one a good ambassador for wildlife.

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.

For example, my list of the Top 25 National Wildlife Refuges for birding includes locations in Utah ( Bear River MBR ), Minnesota ( Minnesota Valley NWR ), and Wisconsin ( Horicon NWR ). Many of the states with more than 100 species are home to contributors and/or have destination birding locations and/or are popular places generally.

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.
