Jack Miner grew up hunting for the market in Ontario before turning his farm at Kingsville into a sanctuary for wild geese and ducks. He writes plainly about his pets and dogs, raising quail and pheasants, banding ducks to trace their migrations, and his war on the birds he saw as predators, a view of hawks and owls that conservation has since abandoned.

A homespun, influential record of one man’s part in North American bird protection. Download the free EPUB.
