The PhotoWILD Podcast and PhotoWILD Magazine

Great books recommended by and comments by Annalise...

An Immense World by Ed Yong - probably one of the best nature writers of all time for me - he’s incredible!!!

Pests by Bethany Brookshire - in my top three books of 2023.

Dominion of Bears by Sherry Simpson  - a must read for anyone curious about bears.

A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds by Scott Weidensaul - His writing is nothing short of mesmerizing, and if you get the chance to hear him speak, GO. Anything he writes is tremendous. I don’t know many writers who can communicate dense, intense science information with prose like Weidensaul.
