Book Description:
A TREK TO FIND A RARE MIGRATORY SHOREBIRD
TURNS INTO A TEST OF FAITH AND AN ALL-OUT EFFORT TO SAVE ONE OF THE LAST
UNTOUCHED WILD LANDS.
Photographer of birds Samuel Leaton, sets out to find the “possibly
extinct” Northern Stilted Curlew, when he suddenly gets caught up in a battle
to protect a remote backcountry forest. As the men from Century Corp. drive in
with their rigs to begin drilling for natural gas, Samuel and a rogue park
ranger take up a fight no one else will.
Samuel photographs the elusive and rare birds that most people
never get a chance to see. As he
seeks out the most-elusive Northern Stilted Curlew, he struggles with the
memory of his wife, who died a year earlier from cancer. Along his search, Samuel
encounters Thomas, a park ranger who has a run-in with the law, and together
they will make a trek to the far reaches of Wilson Sanford National Forest's
northern glacial lakes to prove the Curlew exists—and eventually make one final
shot to save it’s last breeding ground.
Idgie Says:
This
story will definitely be of interest to anyone who is passionate about
conservation, endangered/rare species and the environment in general.
It combines a fictional story together with an Audubon guidebook. While sharing a story of human interaction and healing, the pages are also filled with incredibly descriptive scenes involving local wildlife - mainly birds.
Several characters come together - joining forces in a search for a possibly already extinct bird. Along the way they have to deal with companies more than ready to rip up the forest for profit. While fighting an environmental issue greater than themselves, they find healing and friendship.

Good story with information we could all use intertwined within.
