Book Description
Once upon a time a creek burbled up and tumbled across a prairie valley. It was filled with insects and brook trout that ate them, frogs that chirruped and birds watching for bugs and fish. This is a true story about a man named Mike who went looking for that creek long after it was buried under fields of corn. It is the story of how a creek can be brought back to life, and with it a whole world of nature. In the words of award-winning author Jacqueline Briggs Martin and the enchanting illustrations by Claudia McGehee, this heartening tale of an ecosystem restored in the Driftless Area of northeast Iowa unfolds in a way that will charm and inform young readers who are drawn to a good mystery, the wonders of nature--and, of course, big earth-moving machines.

Iowa's Changing Wildlife
Author: James J. Dinsmore
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1609389255
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
"This book tells the recent story of Iowa's wildlife from recovery and restoration to disappointing declines. During the pandemic, the number of visitors to state parks, wildlife areas, and other natural areas has increased greatly. For many, this is a new experience. This book will provide them with a reliable source of information about many of the animals that they are now seeing. Much has changed with Iowa's wildlife in the past 30 years. Some species like Canada goose, wild turkey, and white-tailed deer that once were rare in Iowa are now common, and others like sandhill crane, river otter, and trumpeter swan are becoming increasingly abundant. The goal of this book is to provide an up-to-date, scientifically based summary of changes in the distribution, status, conservation needs, and future prospects of about 60 species of Iowa's birds and mammals whose populations have increased or decreased in the past 30 years. Emphasis is given to several species that have experienced significant growth, some that show signs that they may experience future growth, and a few whose long-term future in Iowa is in jeopardy. This book is not an update of James and Stephen Dinsmore's earlier book, A Country So Full of Game, which discussed Iowa's wildlife up to about 1990. This is an entirely new book, discussing what has happened in the years 1990-2020. For species covered in the earlier book, only a brief discussion of earlier years is provided to connect the new material to what happened earlier"--
