Western Wings: Hunting Upland Birds on the Northern Plains

Ben Williams spends well over 200 days each year photographing, hunting, or running dogs on the Western prairies. This book is the culmination of his 40+ years spent in the field, not only hunting but seeking to understand everything about upland birds and their environment. He discusses literally everything about these wonderful birds and the country in which they live. Hungarian partridge, sharp-tailed grouse, sage grouse, and prairie chicken are all covered in more detail than ever before in print: their habits throughout the year, habitat, mating rituals, identification, what they eat and why, and -- most importantly -- how to look over a vast section of prairie and identify the habitat within the habitat to locate birds, and much, much more.
