Wildlife camp sketch at Everglades dig and rescue tale
A memoir style field diary recounts silver and artifact finds from a mound dig, owl camera poses, resurrection fern covering trees after rain, and camp life with the Wards. It notes a swamp piglet raised by the Wards, an egret aided back to health, and a swamp buggy run aided by George Espenlaub to reach higher ground through thick grass.
