In the vast Nebraska Sandhills, a harmonious coexistence unfolds between ranchers on horseback and in pickup trucks, sharing the range with majestic pronghorn antelope, elusive burrowing owls, and graceful long-billed curlews. The native grasses thrive, nourished by the growing prosperity of the cattle. Along the region's waterways, river otters and mink glide through streams fed by springs bubbling up from the vast Ogallala aquifer. Over years of immersive observation, Stephen R. Jones has intimately acquainted himself with the Nebraska Sandhills, a breathtaking expanse of prairie and vibrant wetlands spanning twenty-thousand square miles. He has experienced the gentle touch of a white-tailed doe protecting her spotted fawn, mastered the art of communication with a family of long-eared owls, and forged an unlikely bond with a wild turkey during his hikes. Through his meticulous documentation, he has witnessed a growing diversity in the breeding bird population and celebrated the long-awaited return of nesting trumpeter swans.
These captivating personal narratives, enriched with insights from Native American leaders, Sandhills ranchers, and grassland ecologists, invite us to envision a peaceful and harmonious relationship with the natural world. The Nebraska Sandhills serve as a testament to the resilience and beauty of the landscape, where humans and wildlife thrive in harmony.
