Kansas Wildlife ReviewI'm in love with Kansas and the prairies where I spent a lot of my childhood, I had this book once though lost it eventually, I remember it had some unusual an unexpected wildlife that I wouldn't have looked for. There are birds and I actually saw the cat on the cover (or in my case three cats!) once outside my home after a snow fall and they were amazing to see. I used to do a lot of exploring beautiful wild spots, walk for miles and miles and this book educated me a little as well as celebrated a few memories for me. It's light and sort of a coffee-table book, but still.... useful and good to look at. I love living here and even though I grieve for wild animals thrown out in the elements without love or care, I still enjoy seeing them when I get a glimpse. I've seen deer, beaver, fish, all kinds of birds and cranes, mice and rabbits, interesting bugs like cicadas and colorful beetles all on my prairie walks. I recommend this book to give you an overview of what to look for and education on an overview of animals. There's not much deep reading on what to do about animals or deep knowledge on how to transform the lives of animals, just basic walking through a zoo feel. It's good for people starting to learn about their environment.Kansas Wildlife OverviewThe variety will surprise you. Because of its central location, Kansas is a meeting ground for North American animals. Six hundred ten species of land animals--birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians--live in or pass through Kansas. Boreal animals from the colder northern climes traverse the state on their way south; western creatures migrate east from the Rockies or reside in our arid grasslands; southern wildlife pushes north into Kansas on its way back from winter quarters or settles permanently in our Red Hills; and eastern species invade our deciduous forests.In Kansas Wildlife four of the state's best wildlife photographers combine 130 photographs to create a colorful sampler of the state's biodiversity--from delicate Cricket Frogs to ponderous Bison, from stately Great Blue Herons to madcap Chickadees, from cautious Ornate Box Turtles to high-strung Prairie Rattlesnakes.Naturalist Joe Collins provides detailed figure captions full of little-known information about the habits and habitats of Kansas creatures. Did you know, for example, that the Eastern Yellowbelly Racer, a fast and aggressive snake, sometimes follows people who enter its territory during the spring courting season? Have you heard the high-pitched howl of the Northern Grasshopper Mouse, a predatory mouse that occasionally stands on its hind feet and howls like a miniature wolf? Did you know that hummingbirds, the only birds that can fly backwards, must refuel every ten to fifteen minutes? Did you realize, in your wildest dreams, that there are often 750 Prairie Ringneck Snakes to the acre?"Look for these animals the next time you stroll the natural places of Kansas," Collins writes. "I think the variety will surprise you as much as it surprised me on my first Kansas snake hunt twenty years ago, and still does today."
