A broad visual companion for identifying eastern forest life
Covering far more than trees alone, this Peterson field guide gathers the plants, animals, and insects commonly encountered in eastern North American forests into one portable reference. Its scope moves across forest layers and seasons, from wildflowers and mushrooms to birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, moths, beetles, and other insects. Fifty-three full-color plates and 80 color photographs provide visual support for on-the-spot identification, making the book especially useful for connecting a woodland walk’s scattered sightings into a wider picture of the ecosystem.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Hikers and nature walkers exploring forests in eastern North America
