Specificatii
Swallowtail butterflies frolic on the wind. Vireos and rock wrens
sing their hearts out by the recovering creek. Spiders and other
predators chase their next meal. Through it all, John Alcock
observes, records, and delights in what he sees. In a once-burnt
area, life resurges. Plants whose seeds and roots withstood an
intense fire become habitat for the returning creatures of the
wild. After the Wildfire describes the remarkable recovery of
wildlife in the Mazatzal Mountains in central Arizona. It is the
rare observer who has the dedication to revisit the site of a
wildfire, especially over many years and seasons. But naturalist
John Alcock returned again and again to the Mazatzals, where the
disastrous Willow fire of 2004 burned 187 square miles. Documenting
the fire's aftermath over a decade, Alcock thrills at the renewal
of the once-blackened region. Walking the South Fork of Deer Creek
in all seasons as the years passed, he was rewarded by the sight of
exuberant plant life that in turn fostered an equally satisfying
return of animals ranging from small insects to large mammals.
Alcock clearly explains the response of chaparral plants to fire
and the creatures that reinhabit these plants as they come back
from a ferocious blaze: the great spreadwing damselfly, the western
meadowlark, the elk, and birds and bugs of rich and colorful
varieties. This book is at once a journey of biological discovery
and a celebration of the ability of living things to reoccupy a
devastated location. Alcock encourages others to engage the natural
world--even one that has burnt to the ground.
