Pukaskwa: A Naturalist's Year Surveying Birds in the Lake Superior Wilderness

Soren Bondrup-Nielsen

4.9/5 (27551 ratings)

Description:Over a twelve-month period spanning 1976-77, Soren Bundrup-Nielsen conducted burden surveys in the territory that would become Pukaskwa Nagional Park (pronounced Puck-a-saw), a tract of wilderness on the northern shore of Lake Superior. As plans to establish the new park were taking shape, Bondrup-Nielsen - together with his wife, both graduate students in the zoology department at the University of Toronto - won a contract to study its avian life. Fuelled by youthful idealism and eager fir adventure, the pair elected to live in the Lrk for the full year, camping at various inland and coastal sites and traveling to the park's remote corners by ski, snowshoe, Ski-Doo, powerboat, canoe, helicopter, and bush plane. Comprised of an edited selection of Bondrup-Nielsens journal entries, Pukawaska offers a look into the daily life of a biologist in the field: from walking transects and recording observations to whimsical projects and side excursions; from the rudimentary essentials of warmth, food, shelter to the joys of companionship and the simple comforts of camp life. As well as recounting his experiences, Bondrup-Nielsen comments on the general ecology of the park, wrestling with the potential impact of human activity and the incursion of park infrastructure on the preservation of wilderness.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
