The wondrous and deeply philosopical nature book “Where Pelicans Fly” is a love letter to the environment and an almost prayerful plea to the reader to protect and preserve its beauties (see photo cover below). Author Paul Sinrud Johnson , a US Forest Service retiree, presents his thesis in a breathtaking photo essay depicting the flora, fauna, and vistas in and around the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area in central Missouri.
In this recently published treatise, the author`s photographic eye misses no small detail in the rich biologic tapestry of our precious Earthly home. Only at the very end of this coffee table-designed publication do we see a picture of human faces- the only specie that can safeguard the treasures of our biosphere. In a candid snapshot of the BRC founder`s band, Gainor & Friends are seen picking in a jam session at a country pub overlooking Eagle Bluffs.
We musicians are humbled and honored to be the final footnote at the conclusion of this magnificently illustrated and compelling book.
P.S. Scratch a Bluegrass musician and you will probably find an environmentalist underneath. Listen to us:

Thanks for your kind comments about my book “Where Pelicans Fly.” Hope it and the photo within of the “pickers” is of benefit to BRC and bluegrass music.
