There is a moment, somewhere out past the last streetlight, when a Western Meadowlark cuts loose from a fence post and the whole Idaho morning seems to hold still for it. If you have heard it, you already know. If you have not, this book is your invitation.
Wings Over Idaho is not another stack of photos to flip through. It is the book a lifelong Idaho birdwatcher wishes someone had handed him fifty years ago. Warm, funny, and packed with hard-earned know-how, it carries you from the feeder outside your kitchen window all the way to the cliffs of the Snake River, where more birds of prey nest than anywhere else in North America.
Whether you have never lifted a pair of binoculars or you have been chasing birds for decades, you will find your place in these pages.
Inside you will discover:
The backyard birds you see every day, and the small clues that finally tell them apart.
Exactly where to go, with real Idaho hotspots from Deer Flat and the Snake River Birds of Prey area to the Sawtooths, Camas, and Bear Lake.
How to turn your own yard into a bird magnet with the right food, water, feeders, and native plants.
The owls calling after dark, the eagles and hawks riding the thermals, the hummingbirds at the porch.
Simple, joyful ways to get children hooked on birds for life.
Bird photography tips, a month-by-month birdwatcher's year, the truth about rare sightings, and a whole chapter of plain answers to the questions Idaho bird lovers actually ask.
It reads like a morning spent with a generous old friend who knows every marsh and meadow in the state and cannot wait to show you around. A perfect gift for beginners, backyard feeder watchers, newcomers to the Gem State, and anyone who has ever looked up and wondered what that bird was.
Grab your binoculars. The wings over Idaho are calling.
