Geese Of Beaver Bog
by: Heinrich, Bernd
When award-winning writer and biologist Bernd Heinrich became the unwitting
-- but doting -- foster parent of an adorable gosling named Peep, he was
drawn into her world. And so, with a scientist's training and a nature
lover's boundless enthusiasm, he set out to understand the travails and
triumphs of the Canada geese living in the beaver bog adjacent to his
home. In The Geese of Beaver Bog, Heinrich takes his readers through mud,
icy waters, and overgrown sedge hummocks to unravel the mysteries behind
heated battles, suspicious nest raids, jealous outbursts, and more. With
deft insight and infectious good humor, he sheds light on how geese live
and why they behave as they do. Far from staid or predictable, the lives
of geese are packed with adventure and full of surprises. Illustrated
throughout with Heinrich's trademark sketches and featuring beautiful
four-color photographs, The Geese of Beaver Bog is part love story, part
science experiment, and wholly delightful. Illustrations & Color photos.

How To Raise Poultry (FFA Agricultural Education)
by: Heinrichs, Christine
Prized for their feathers or eggs, raised for their meat or their beauty
or simply for fun, poultry of a dazzling array of sorts and sizes have
a place in the heart of farmers, ranchers, and bird fanciers alike. If
you want to raise fowl—of whatever kind and for whatever reason—this
book is the perfect place to begin. Poultry expert Christine Heinrichs
lays out the distinctions between waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans),
turkeys, gamebirds (peafowl, pheasants, quail, and others), ratites (ostriches,
emus, and rheas), and pigeons. She then clearly details the very different
requirements for raising each species, from feeding and housing to husbandry
and health, to showing and marketing and legal concerns. Whether you're
thinking of starting a flock or acquiring a few feathered friends, this
handy guide tells you everything you need to know to raise healthy poultry
for pleasure or profit—or both. Color photos. 192 pgs.
