Beschreibung:
Michael Forsberg is a professional photographer whose work has been published worldwide and has won awards in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Pictures of the Year competitions. His fine-art photographic prints can be found in private and public collections throughout the world. He lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. George Archibald is a co-founder of the International Crane Foundation and is considered the world's leading authority on cranes. James Harris is the president of the International Crane Foundation.
Elegant, noble, and spiritual, the sandhill crane is one of the most ancient of all birds. More than a half-million strong, flying in squadrons, these majestic creatures point northward to their Arctic and sub-Arctic breeding ranges. Theirs is an epic story of endurance through the ages. With an intimate lens, Michael Forsberg documented sandhill cranes during a five-year journey across North America. On Ancient Wings intertwines the lives of cranes, people, and their common places to tell their story at a time when sandhill cranes and their wetland and grassland habitats face daunting prospects.
