FYI, great description, but not as useful for field identification

Just so buyers know beforehand, this is a great, descriptive book. However, it is best used as a supplement to field identification guides, as this one contains only drawings that, although well-drawn, are black and white and are not included for every species. Still a great resource though!

Pleasantly surprised.

Turning my photographic endeavors more toi nature, I decided to start doing my homework, so that I better understand the wildlife in my area. I must say that I thought there would be photos, but I found illustrations instead. But hey are excellent, although not every animal variation is shown. The author goes into amzing descriptive detail - much more than I expected. Whether you are a nature photographer in the Maryland area, nature enthusiast, or student, this book is a steal at less than $15!
