A giant among his peers - L.H. WalkinshawJanuary 29, 2009 V. A. Gallian For those who appreciate the stories and heroic efforts of saving the endangered Whooping Cranes, Sandhill Cranes and Kirkland's Warblers - this is a must read! The author tells the heart warming life story of Dr. Lawrence Walkinshaw, a dentist by profession but a birder at heart. Walkinshaw became recognized as the World's first international crane authority and did more to lead to their conservation than anyone.
Perseverance and determination enabled this man to make an indelible print on history by saving these endangered species. Birding was a calling, a drumbeat for this quintessential ornithologist!
This is an excellent book that acquaints you with a giant among his peers.
I Agree with ornithologist Richard BrewerJuly 18, 2009 Wendy A. Schake As the author of 'On The Wings of Cranes', I defer to Richard Brewer. His five star comments were published in 2009 in The Wilson Journal of Ornothology, Volume 122(2):445-455 within the Ornithological Literature Section.
