Format:Paperback
I am thrilled to say that I have finally found what will be my "go-to" guide for North American mammal identification. This book does a fantastic job identifying all 442 mammal species of North America. Some of the more helpful features: a quick guide to point you to the right section of the book, fantastic artwork (not distracting photos) to reference, information on identifying the tracks of some of the larger species, and of course, most helpful to an amateur like me, there are plenty of pictures of scat!! And yet I am pleased to report that this beautiful reference does it all in a classic field guide size! For any interested amateur naturalist, hiker, hunter, etc - it will become the obvious choice to pack up and take along.
Format:Paperback
Took this on my recent trip to Utah and Wyoming as a complement to the (also excellent) Sibley bird guide. The coverage is really good with top quality illustrations. The layout was also spot on with the text and distribution maps on the page opposite the relevant picture. It's small enough to carry around but still comprehensive in its coverage. Highly recommended.
