Raptors of New Mexico
Editor:
Jean-Luc Cartron, MD, Ph D, research assistant professor at University of New Mexico, Director of the Drylands Institute New Mexico office.
728pp
No book has ever before specifically focused on the birds of prey of New Mexico. Both Florence Bailey (1928) and J. Stokley Ligon (1961) published volumes on the birds of New Mexico, but their coverage of raptors was somewhat limited. In the ensuing years a great deal of new information has been collected on these mighty hunters’ distribution, ecology, and conservation, including in New Mexico.
The book begins with a history of the word ‘raptor’. The order of Raptatores, or Raptores, was first used to classify birds of prey in the early nineteenth century, derived from the Latin word raptor, one who seizes by force. The text then includes the writings of thirty-seven contributing authors who relate their observations on these regal species. For example, Joe Truett recounts the following in the chapter on the Swainson’s Hawk: ‘From spring to fall each year at the Jornada Caves in the Jornada del Muerto, Swainson’s hawks assemble daily to catch bats. The bats exit the caves – actually lava tubes – near sundown. The hawks swoop in, snatch bats from the air, and eat them on the wing’.
Originally from France, Jean-Luc Cartron, has lived and worked on several continents, finding his passion in the wide-open spaces of New Mexico. He became fascinated by the birds of prey, and has studied their ecology and conservation for nearly twenty years.
Raptors of New Mexico will provide readers with a comprehensive treatment of all hawks, eagles, kites, vultures, falcons, and owls breeding or wintering in New Mexico, or simply migrating through the state. This landmark study is also beautifully illustrated with more than six hundred photographs, including the work of more than one hundred photographers, and and nearly fifty species distribution maps.
The Forester’s Log: Musings from the Woods
Author:
Mary Stuever
State timber management officer with New Mexico State Forestry Division
278 pp
Description:
Over the last quarter century, Mary Stuever captured stories from her work as a forester in the American Southwest in her monthly column, “The Forester’s Log”. Gathered here together, these tales spin a web of words that explain why forest fires are larger, why trees are being cut from forests, why kids need to spend times outdoors, why catastrophic burn areas need planted and protected, and why people and land share an incredible bond that should be nurtured and honored.
More Details
When Mary Stuever graduated from forestry school in the early 1980s, her profession was facing tremendous challenges as the nation’s forests were poised for serious decline from catastrophic wildfires, insect outbreaks, and suburban encroachment. Stuever captured this transition over the last few decades in her syndicated monthly column “The Forester’s Log.” Originally penned for newspapers in rural forested communities in the Southwest, the column has found its way into various magazines, newsletters, anthologies, and Web sites. Stuever’s career involves firefighting, fire rehabilitation, timber sale administration, environmental education, and many other aspects of forest management. Through her work with native tribes, local, state, and federal agencies, and private landowners, Stuever focuses on the important bond between land and people. With an inspiring and informative style, Stuever’s tales weave fresh insight into forest issues. Her writings, collected here for the first time, tell the poignant story of places, people, and experiences that have shaped her passion while offering a rare glimpse of forestry in the Southwest at the turn of the new millennium. “Like individual trees that stand together as a rich forest, the pieces in Mary Stuever’s Forester’s Log join with each other to create a greater whole. Stuever not only guides us into complex and varied forests, but illuminates their connections with the people and communities she encounters, from the mother-daughter team in Cuba, NM, who integrate watershed concerns with tree farming, to the White Mountain Apache who called her ‘Mama Baer,’ a play on the acronym for the forest restoration project she led for five years after the massive Rodeo-Chediski fire in eastern Arizona. These moving stories are the heart of the book. Throughout this collection, we not only see a natural teacher at work and learn much about forest ecology, we begin to know the dedicated, competent humane, and fearless woman who loves her calling. Anyone who’s ever walked among towering ponderosas, worried about dying piñons, watched racing flames on a mountainside, or marveled at new growth sprouting from burned ground will love this book. Southwestern forests have found a compelling voice.”–Mary Beath, author of Hiking Alone: Trails Out, Trails Home (UNM Press) and Refuge of Whirling Light (UNM Press) “It’s been a long time since foresters wrote plainly about their work–Gifford Pinchot, Aldo Leopold, Elers Koch (Forty Years a Forester)–and back then it was only the guys.”–Ana Maria Spagna, author of Now Go Home: Wilderness, Belonging, and the Crosscut Saw
