Product Description
by James Kavanagh (Author), Leung Raymond (Illustrator), Waterford Press (Author)
Along Wisconsin's extensive Great Lakes shorelines and within its large tracts of forest is a diverse array of species, from the White-tailed Deer (state mammal) and American Robin (state bird) to the Common Blue Violet (state flower). Rich hardwood forests host Black Bears, thrushes, flycatchers, and numerous wood-warblers. Canada Jays and Moose inhabit northern boreal forests. Lakes and wetlands are congregation sites for waterfowl and shorebirds. To help you get better acquainted with the natural history of the Badger State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species, as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to sharpen their identification skills and peer more closely into the lives of 300 of Wisconsin's most representative plants and animals. Made in the USA.
