"When you engage in wildlife watching, something remarkable happens: You slow down to the natural rhythms of time and become aware of the cycles of nature. Weather and time take on special meaning in the wild. Wildlife watching takes patience, sensitivity and the ability to live in the moment, which may well be the reason it is so restorative and rewarding."

With this in mind, and with the hope of inspiring in their readers more passionate and deeper connections with the natural world, authors Diane Bair and Pamela Wright present up-close-and-personal tours of 25 animal-adventure trips in the U.S. From snorkeling with manatees on Florida's Crystal River, to watching a cloud of free-tail bats emerge from under a bridge in Austin, Texas, to witnessing battling wild stallions in Montana's Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range, the authors bring you to the heart of the action. Accompanied by stunning, full-page and two-page photographs, personal essays ring with the thrill of first-hand experience.

The animal-watching adventures range in cost from free to expensive (Great Alaska Fish Camp & Safari's packages start at $2,495 for two days of experiencing the backcountry and viewing grizzlies). Each encounter includes a comprehensive sidebar with information on how to make the trip, what else to do in the area, and other places to experience each animal.
