Wildlife of the Carolinas, A Photographer's Year in the Wild – Black Bears, Alligators, Birds and More
Dive into the raw, uncooperative heart of North Carolina wildlife photography through the lens of John Brechisci. Over the past year, Brechisci logged tens of thousands of miles and snapped hundreds of thousands of frames from dawn stakeouts in pocosin wetlands to dusk explosions on barrier islands—to capture animals that refuse to pose. This magazine style wildlife photo book distills that grind into sharp, full-page photographs of black bears charging corn fields at Alligator River NWR, American alligators clamping fish in Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge ponds, roseate spoonbills sweeping marshes on Bear Island, ospreys plunging at Huntington Beach State Park, and egrets stalking shallows from Fort Fisher State Recreation Area to Airlie Gardens. Brief location notes and habitat details put each shot in context without fluff.
Perfect for bird photography enthusiasts, wildlife photographers, birders, hunters, hikers, or anyone chasing North Carolina birds, coastal wildlife, marsh birds, raptors, mammals, and barrier island animals. Features great egrets, snowy egrets, wood ducks, river otters, red-shouldered hawks, pileated woodpeckers, and more in their natural habitats.
Ideal coffee table book for NC outdoor lovers, Atlantic Flyway migrants, and Southeast wildlife.
