The author of Waiting for Coyote’s Call begins Seasons of the Coyote with the early morning howling and maniacal yaps of coyotes. In 103 narratives he takes us through a yearlong adventure in nature, sometimes humorous, sometimes solemn, but always good reading. His well-told stories are a reminder to walk with mindfulness, enthusiasm and keen vision if we intend to see the miracles around us. — Dr. James F. Heisinger, Professor Emeritus of Biology, University of South Dakota

Over the course of a year Jerry Wilson has patiently and closely observed every inch of the prairie, hills, woods and ponds that make up his 150 acres of bluff above the Missouri. Seasons of the Coyote, which includes his running account of the many creatures that share his property, shows him to be a great naturalist as well as a gifted writer. If there is another study of South Dakota’s flora and fauna as detailed and vivid as this, I would like to know about it. — Fraser Harrison, author of The Infinite West
