New Book Gives Readers a Bird's-Eye View of Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary
Ornithologist and author Paul A. Johnsgard has written a comprehensive book on Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary.
Lincoln, NE, March 28, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Infusionmedia today announced the publication of “Audubon’s Lillian Annette Rowe Sanctuary: A Refuge, a River, and a Migration,” a new book by noted ornithologist Paul A. Johnsgard. Johnsgard has written a comprehensive book on Rowe Sanctuary, which sits strategically along the central Platte River near Gibbon, Neb., located at the nexus of the migration routes for up to 600,000 sandhill cranes each spring. Visitors to the sanctuary, as well as those who have not yet experienced it, now have a new way to understand Rowe Sanctuary and its biological, environmental and conservation significance through Johnsgard’s book.
“This book will allow us to reach people well beyond Nebraska and our regular visitors to give them the opportunity to understand the wonder and importance of Rowe Sanctuary,” says Bill Taddicken, director at Rowe Sanctuary. “This outreach is especially important now as we deal with the novel coronavirus crisis.”
Features of the Rowe Sanctuary book include:
Species lists for the area’s birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, as well as butterflies, flowering forbs and grasses;
The ecology and biology of local mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians;
Descriptions of 20 public access suggested bird-viewing areas in Kearney and southern Buffalo counties;
Illustrations by the author, maps and citations.
Books will be available at the sanctuary’s visitors center, currently closed through April 15. Books also may be ordered through the online gift shop at https://store.rowesanctuary.org/ or by emailing rowesanctuary@audubon.org.
