Swamp Screamer: At Large with the Florida Panther (1998) by Charles Fergus
"Lively and full of anecdotes, some of them eye-openers."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post "Charles Fergus [is] a diligent reporter and straightforward writer. . . . You will enjoy [his] descriptions of forays into panther territory."—Kathleen Krog, Miami Herald "Relentlessly fascinating."—Tallahassee Democrat In Swamp Screamer, Charles Fergus tracks the fifty or so panthers that survive in Florida, vividly describing the people trying to save these remarkable creatures—including wildlife biologists trying to preserve panther habitat and radical animal lovers who regard the panther as a symbol of their crusade on behalf of nature. Swamp Screamer is a surprising and often comic look at the wildlife movement today; it is also an evocative history of the vanishing wilds of Florida and a deeply affecting portrait of the panthers themselves. 224 pp. Map.

Studies of the Wild Turkey in Florida (1988) by Lovett E. Williams, Jr. and David H. Austin "Certain to become a
standard reference work on any game bird management shelf
of essential books."—J.W. Hardy,
Curator in Ornithology, Florida State Museum "I doubt that anyone
knows the wild turkey better than do Lovett Williams and
David Austin. Their years of research and experience with
this magnificent American game bird are crystallized in
this book. I learned more about the biology and ecology
of the wild turkey and the turkey hunter in the few hours
it took to read it than I had learned in a
lifetime."—Herbert W. Kale II, Florida
