Brief Description:
From a Yellowstone wildlife guide, learn to tap into animal sounds and
decode the secret conversations happening all around you. “An engaging
guide to a world of wonders hiding in plain sight.”–Peter Wohlleben, New
York Times bestselling author of The Inner Life of Animals and The Hidden
Life of Trees Humans once relied on the calls of wild animals to understand
the natural world and their place within it. Now, this remarkable guide
reveals what our ancestors knew long ago–that tuning in to the owl in the
tree, the deer in the gully, can tell us important information and help us
feel connected to our wild community. Wildlife ecologist George Bumann
shares fascinating stories and insights he has gained from leading animal
intelligence tours in Yellowstone National Park alongside tips, tricks, and
advice for readers living in urban, suburban and rural areas. As Bumann
clearly shows, you don’t need an exotic vacation for wildlife encounters;
listening to and observing creatures in your own backyard, on nearby
trails, and in local parks, fields, and forests can lead to extraordinary
experiences and a profound sense of belonging. Are you ready to eavesdrop
on your wild neighbors? Are you ready to learn how to tell a warning call
from a mating call, a purr of satisfaction from idle chatter? Then this
book is for you!
