The Field Guide to
Wildlife Habitats
of the Western United States
Janine M. Benyus
This and the guide for the Eastern United States are the only illustrated
field guides using a habitat-first approach. As you travel anywhere in the
continental western United States, you'll be able to find vivid descriptions
of the habitats you are living in, floating on, or driving through -- along
with the abundance of creatures and plant life associated with each. The
book begins with instructions for using the guide, sections on observing and
stalking wildlife, and a helpful Wildlife Sign Chart. All 18 habitat
descriptions include geological and ecological histories, essays
illuminating special features, and three wildlife profiles (bird, mammal,
and amphibian or reptile). In addition, each chapter contains:
a stunning two-page habitat illustration
a list of characteristic plants
a map and sampling list of locations for the habitat
a beautifully illustrated Wildlife Locator Chart that lets you pinpoint
where animals and birds nest and feed (more than 40 species for each
habitat).
