Through the pages of Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak, renowned naturalist and seasoned photographer Michael Runtz takes readers on a journey like no other, unveiling the hidden treasures of diverse ecosystems from the vantage point of your canoe or kayak seat.
Allow Runtz's expert guidance to steer you through untouched wilderness, as he seamlessly weaves his extensive knowledge with a deep passion for the natural world and its residents. With every paddle stroke, a new realm of life, color, and wonder reveals itself. From the gentle murmur of a river coursing through dense forests, Runtz's evocative storytelling brings to life the breathtaking biodiversity thriving just beyond the water's edge.
With a photographer's eye and a storyteller's finesse, Runtz introduces you to the astonishing array of species that find their sanctuary along these waterways. Marvel at the display of bird species enlivening the air, as warblers grace the skies and herons bound across lakes in takeoff. Witness the ballet of aquatic life atop and beneath the water's surface, from beavers and river otters to frogs, dragonflies and waterlilies. In this portable, pick-up-and-read volume, over 150 species of plant, mammal, insect and reptile are beautifully rendered in 200 of Runtz's full-color photographs.
Whether you're an experienced paddler or a curious newcomer, Runtz's observations and anecdotes will deepen your connection with the natural world. Explore the delicate equilibrium of ecosystems and discover the vital role each creature plays in maintaining the harmony of these habitats. So, seize your paddle and a copy of Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak. Your next canoe adventure awaits.
