NATURE / TRAVEL / WISCONSIN
“What a great idea: a year-long scavenger hunt through the seasons in
search of Wisconsin’s most interesting creatures! Along the way to finding
whooping cranes and lake sturgeon and elk, Candice Andrews leads us to
the state’s other hidden treasures—pocket prairies and spawning streams
and woodland dunes. So grab your compass and binoculars—and this
book!”
John Hildebrand, author of
A Northern Front: New & Collected Essays
Have you ever heard a wolf howl in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, watched thou-
sands of ancient sturgeon roil the waters of one of the largest inland lakes in the
United States, or tagged a monarch butterfly before it begins one of the world’s
great migrations to its winter habitat in Mexico?
Travel Wild Wisconsin
is your
seasonal guide to genuine wildlife encounters with an amazing array of birds,
mammals, fish, and insects in Wisconsin’s most beautiful natural settings: state
wildlife areas, rivers, lakes, flowages, and preserves as well as national wildlife
refuges and forests.
Wisconsin native Candice Gaukel Andrews shares natural history and lore,
accounts of her own experiences with Wisconsin wildlife, and insights from
biologists, environmental educators, and citizen scientists, so that you can seek
a wildlife encounter of your own.
So come spy on the spring courtship dance of the greater prairie chicken,
search for elusive and elegant white-tailed deer in summer, touch a tiny saw-whet
owl on one special day in autumn, and thrill to the sound of thousands of tundra
swans as they migrate through the Mississippi Flyway just before the first snow
falls. Make this the year you
Travel Wild Wisconsin.
Candice Gaukel Andrews
is the author of

Tales from Natural Habitat Adventures.
A
resident of south-central Wisconsin, she is a

mental organizations and nature-travel and
eco-tour providers.
