A century ago, many people had given up on the wood duck, dooming
it to extinction along with the passenger pigeon and Carolina
parakeet. Today, it's one of the most familiar and most harvested
ducks in the eastern half of the country, and one of America's
great conservation success stories.In With Wings Extended,
Minnesota conservationist Greg Hoch introduces readers to a duck
they probably recognize but may not know well. This book shows how
almost anyone can get involved in conservation and do something for
wildlife beyond writing checks to conservation organizations. Hoch
illustrates the complexities of wildlife and habitat management
that landowners as well as state and federal wildlife agencies deal
with on a daily basis, and takes readers through the life stages of
what is largely considered the most beautiful duck in the world. In
this fascinating and practical read, Hoch blends the historical
literature about the species with modern science, and also shows
how our views of conservation have changed over the last century.
