In 2010, when photographer Krista Elrick began traversing John James Audubon country in search of the birds the nineteenth-century American naturalist observed, painted, and wrote about, she encountered scarcely a sighting. Instead, she found the lushly forested watersheds and waterways that Audubon had passionately described in his journals vastly altered with many of the bird species extinct and their supporting habitat all but disappeared. Industrial buildings, parking lots, and strip malls had overtaken much of the area, edging out the natural world. It was a country no more. With a vintage Hasselblad film camera in hand, Elrick traveled more than 45,000 miles over ten years, following in the footsteps of Audubon as she sought clues to what had happened to these places and to the animals and peoples who once lived there."--Publisher description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a John James Audubon: Lessons in Looking / Gregory Nobles -- Retracing Audubon: Eco-Conversations with Krista Elrick / Mary Anne Redding -- The Episodes / Krista Elrick -- Introduction: Getting Lost is the Beginning of Discovery -- Myself -- "The Swam of December 25th" -- In the Land of Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers -- Searching for Bachman's Warbler in the Low Country -- The Floridas -- Along the Missouri River -- "The Task is Accomplished" -- Roots and Wings: A Conversation with the Artist / Joanna Hurley and Mary Anne Redding. 600 10 $a Audubon, John James, $d 1785-1851. 600 10 $a Elrick, Krista $x Travel $z United States. 600 17 $a Audubon, John James, $d 1785-1851. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031361 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Landscape painting, American $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Landscape photography $z United States. 650 7 $a Landscape painting, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991960 650 7 $a Landscape photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992030 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Audubon, John James, $d 1785-1851. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEE2BA3EA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
