Not many people can brag that they have spent a good part of their life in wetlands, but David Carroll can. In his book Swampwalker's Journal: A Wetland's Year, Carroll takes the reader with him on a year of his "rounds" exploring marshes, swamps, vernal pools, floodplains and the hundreds of creatures he comes across... from the inch-long fairy shrimp to the crossings of black bears and muskrats.
