Fantastic Book on the Wildlife of the Great Plains March 30, 2004
As a resident of the great plains for eleven years I found this book the best ever on the subject. Johnsgard's writing weaves its way in and among the best photos I have ever seen of the wildlife of this area. As a photographer I have some idea of the work involved in capturing the great images seen in this book. Bob Gress has done an outstanding job with the photographs, the best I have ever seen. If you are a resident or even a visitor to the great plains you owe it ot yourself to get a copy of this book and study it cover to cover.
Outstanding Plains Fauna Information March 30, 2004

As a resident of the Great Plains I have found it difficult to find information about the wildlife of the area since moving here 11 years ago. Until now, that is! This books has it all. The writing of Johnsgard flows well in and around the fantastic images of Gress. As a photographer I know what it takes to get good images of the wildlife around here. To get EXCELLENT images takes time, patience and an understanding of the habitat and habits of the animals that call the great plains home. I was able to spend one short morning in a blind with Bob Gress photographing the Greater Prairie Chicken. Not only did he have an excellent blind but it was in the right place, on their lek and we were there at the right time. My photos, while nice captures of the birds were not nearly as well executed as Bob's.If you are a fan of the last remaining plains in North America as I am and want the ultimate book of the wildlife here, this is it! You will be awestruck by the images but be sure to read the prose as well.
