Michigan Wildlife: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Animals

Michigan stretches from beech-maple hardwood forests at its southern end to spruce- and pine-dominated boreal forests at its northern reaches. Interspersed with these forests are sand dunes, beaches, rivers, marshes, and prairies, and within these habitats live thousands of animal species. Stand-outs include Kirtland's Warbler, American Bullfrog, Monarch butterfly, state reptile Painted Turtle, and state mammal White-tailed Deer. For many people, animals are the face of a landscape or wetland, and it helps to get acquainted with the most common species to establish a strong foundation of knowledge. This is why it is so valuable to have a portable reference like Michigan Wildlife in tow. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and butterflies, as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge a deeper connection with the land through its attendant animals. Made in the USA.
