Wild Birds of the American Wetlands is a monumental and breathtaking study of some of the country's most beautiful birds—Great Blue Heron, White Ibis, Snowy Egret, Sandhill Crane, Roseate Spoonbill, American White Pelican Wood Stork, and many more—and of their vanishing habitats. Twenty-eight species are featured in the book. From coastal wetlands in California to the Platte River in Nebraska and the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Winard uses her thirty years of experience observing these winged creatures along with her mastery of photography to illuminate the importance of avian and wetland conservation.

Winard's camera lens has replaced her binoculars as she searches for images that depict the birds' elusive aspects and paradoxes: their simultaneous fragility and power, tranquility and action, stillness and momentum. At once a documentary photographer, artist, and student of natural history, Winard, in each of her photographs, slips soundlessly into a vivid and detailed realism.
The book is lavishly illustrated with 100 black and white tritone photos, and includes one horizontal and two vertical gatefolds.
