America's last frontier is one of the great natural areas on earth. Alaska's rugged mountain ranges, lush forests, muskeg-bogs and open tundra are home to a rich array of wildlife including 105 species of mammals, 325 birds, hundreds of freshwater and saltwater fishes and thousands of trees, shrubs and wildflowers. This beautifully illustrated field guide highlights more than 325 familiar plants and animals and dozens of the state's outstanding natural attractions. It is an indispensable single reference for amateur naturalists, students and tourists alike. Made in the USA.
This field guide was very useful during our recent inspection of our Alaskan property. It's small size makes it easy to carry while hiking in the forest, and it contains all the most common birds you might see throughout the state. We were able to quickly identify and differentiate the birds we spotted using this guide. Now, if they could only come out with a bird song guide (on CD/DVD obviously) it would be even easier to identify the local birds!!
