On the Wings of a North Wind : A Journey With Waterfowl
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Michael Furtman called his retriever, packed his camper and spent three months on the road, following the ducks and geese in their fall migration though Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Dakotas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. What he found in his journey is the story told in On the Wings of a North Wind.
This book celebrates the fall migration and also explores the problems facing waterfowl and waterfowl managers today. While Furtman is a hunter, he is also an environmentalist concerned with creating and preserving habitat for these birds. This is a wonderful story about one man's efforts to gain first-hand information about this perennial migration and the problems these birds face with today's changing landscapes.
