Description
Beautifully illustrated and fun to read, A Field Guide to Nearby Nature will enrich the moments you spend watching, touching, and listening to the natural wonders close at hand. Sneak a close-up view of the star-nosed mole's twenty-two nose tentacles, catch a glimpse of an eastern cottontail in a field, peek inside a jack-in-the-pulpit, and inspect the bizarre homes of caddis flies. A Field Guide to Nearby Nature introduces readers young and old to 107 plants, animals, birds, and insects of mixed deciduous forests in the eastern and midwestern United States and Canada.
