Filled with tales of joy, romance, mischief and infanticide, this book tells the story of Bryce Canyon National Park’s elusive population of prairie dogs. Equal parts entertaining and educational, John Hoogland’s story is just as much about the prairie dogs as it is about the challenges and excitement of field research. Hoogland and his team observed the prairie dogs from a nine-foot-tall tower as part of a long term study but over time came to know the animals as individuals. The text is accompanied by over 150 photographs of the prairie dogs, researchers, and park taken by wildlife photographer Elaine Miller Bond.
