Authors of great books

Dr. Geoff Hill shares his research of the swamps of  the Florida panhandle trying to locate Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, a species thought to be extinct for the past 50 years. In 2005, the Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University announced a discovery of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the big woods of Arkansas. Following the announcement, Dr. Hill, a wildlife science professor at Auburn University, took a research trip  into the swamp forests of Florida. Read his book the Ivorybill Hunters .


Another great and enjoyable author is Brian "Fox" Ellis

Brian Ellis brings history, ecology, art and literature to life in his meticulously researched program that celebrates the life work of an "American Treasure"  Adventures with John James Audubon. Brian is one of America's greatest naturalists and wildlife artists. Listen to tales of his adventures as he enchants you with stories of his travels and travails in the wildest places on the planet.
He is best  known for his books for children
