Book Synopsis The Great Blue Heron by : Robert William Butler
Download or read book The Great Blue Heron written by Robert William Butler and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its striking plumage, the great blue heron is one of the most widely recognized wading birds in North America. Riding on kelp beds in the Queen Charlotte Islands, wading in coastal streams along the mainland, poised motionless at the water's edge on a misty morning, or nesting in the limbs of old-growth forests, this stately bird is a familiar sight on the coast of British Columbia. The largest colonies are on the Fraser River delta, an area of great ecological significance to the north Pacific. Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding many aspects of the species' breeding biology and courtship behaviour, the foraging and population ecology of this bird remains something of an enigma. In his beautifully illustrated book, Robert Butler follows the great blue heron through a year on the coast of British Columbia. He draws on more than a decade of work to throw light on the adaptability of this magnificent bird to a temperate climate, its diet and breeding habits, habitat use, and conservation. Although the great blue heron has become a symbol of wetland conservation, in recent years it has had to face new challenges as a consequence of rapid urbanization of its environment. In The Great Blue Heron the author also describes the B.C. coast and shares a vision for the conservation of the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River delta.

Download or read book Nature's Way written by Bud Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features one of the author's favorite birds, The Great Blue Heron. He hopes you enjoy this intimate look into the life of a truly magnificent American bird. Most of these photos were taken by him in the beautiful Hocking Hills area of southeastern Ohio. This book is intended as a photographic essay concerning one bird species, the Great Blue Heron. It is not a technical piece by any means. My intent is to let these photographs speak for themselves as much as possible. I might interject my observations into its photographic narration at some points, but only as clarification or to point out an observation of my own pertaining to what these great birds have taught me about themselves. They were the teachers, I was the eager student. They still have much to teach me. I'll never live long enough to know it all. I was amazed to find that I had over 9,000 images of Great Blue Herons in my computer folders. I know I will run across some photographs later on and say to myself: I should have included this one, or that one. I still take more photos each time I go to my lake. I can't help myself. Who knows if the next photo will teach me something else about these aptly named birds. I'm almost afraid to check my picture files for all the other species I have photographed. If all goes well with this offering, I may do other books on other species in at some point in the future.

A distribution map, based on the latest available information, also shows the range of each species. Because of the widening interest in wading birds, considerable attention is paid to identification in the field. Four identification plates, especially prepared by Robert Gillmor, show all the plumages in each stage of every species and race, of white herons and egrets. This information - invaluable for ornithologists and birdwatchers - has never before been brought together in one volume. References to all the relevant literature on herons and bitterns is included for those who want to make a deeper study of these birds, and the authors have contributed their own considerable experiences gained in the field. The definitive handbook on herons, this book will not only provide the basis for future research and conservation but will also be a source of interest and enjoyment for both birdwatchers and ornithologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, wildlife expert and enthusiast Warner Shedd refutes popular animal myths like squirrels remembering where they bury nuts, wolves howling at the moon, and oppossums "playing dead." Have you ever seen a flying squirrel flapping through the air, watched a beaver carrying a load of mud on its tail, or ducked when a porcupine started throwing its quills? Probably not, says Shedd, former regional executive for the National Wildlife Federation. Offering scientific evidence that refutes many of the most tenacious and persevering folklore about wild animals, Owls Aren't Wise & Bats Aren't Blind will captivate you with fascinating facts and humorous anecdotes about more than thirty North American species-- some as familiar as the common toad, and others as elusive as the lynx. Owls Aren't Wise & Bats Aren't Blind is an entertaining dose of scientific reality for any nature enthusiast or armchair adventurer.

Book excerpt: In the centuries since sandhill cranes and other large wading birds have been present on this earth, someone has finally compiled a book about the folklore of these birds. Legends of the Crane by author Pamela J. Jensen is a delightful, extensively researched, hardcover book with over 120 poems and stories about cranes, herons, egrets, and storks, and includes 47 original color pieces of artwork. The original cover artwork was especially painted for this book from noted Washington State artist Doug Miller.Cranes are worldwide globally, existing on five of the seven continents, and Legends of the Crane reflects this by including poems and stories from North America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Readers can ponder on poetry from early century China and Japan, a classical story about whooping cranes from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' The Yearling, fables from Hans Christian Andersen, or features from modern day poets and writers. Each poem and story not only uniquely describes the birds' flight, dance, or cry but also their habitat.Like the poems and stories that have remained timeless over the centuries and retold in Legends of the Crane, this book will also be read and re-read, and thoroughly enjoyed many times over.
