Boxes, Rockets, and Pens: A History of Wildlife Recovery in Tennessee (Outdoor Tennessee Series)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent history of wildlife re-introduction.
Review: A must for wildlife watchers! This small but impressive book gives us behind the scenes info about how various species were brought back from near extinction in Tennessee to large populations - deer and turkey are two marvelous examples. Markham, via interviews, makes even the failed effort to bring back the red-cockaded woodpecker an interesting story. Many little known facts appear about species we may think we know - the book is worth it just for that. And Markham has done a wonderful job of writing - try it, you'll be facinated!
