Full-color gift edition with cover matte finish. Written in the spirit and style of the late, famous artist/naturalist/wildlife conservationist Ned Smith who wrote and illustrated for the Pennsylvania Game News in the mid to late 20th century. Modern day naturalist David Feist explores trails, fields, and wetlands on a pristine mixed forest and prairie farm in east central Minnesota. The nearest town? Rutledge, MN -featuring one bar, a hair cuttery, a town hall, and literally nothing else. David's evening drives along county dirt roads net sightings of 15-45 whitetail bucks, does, and fawns. He observes various sandhill crane families raising their young, large turkey flocks, red-winged blackbirds in droves, and anxious ring-necked pheasants. But it is Feist's journal entries on their farm that captivate, proclaiming natural America's exquisite treasures -right in an interested one's very backyard, woodlots, and fields.
