Seasonal Guide to the Natural Year: A Month by Month Guide to Natural Events : Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

Wildlife-watching on skis? Tracking the spectacular avalanche lily? Newt-mating rituals? Meeting the herring family? If these topics pique your curiosity, you'll be fascinated by the Seasonal Guide to the Natural Year: Oregon, Washington, British Columbia. This month-by-month guide to natural events helps you get to know this region's wild side by introducing you to a wide range of animals, birds, plants, and physical elements of the earth.

Natural phenomena that used to blend into the background will come alive through the readable teachings this book has to offer. For example, one section explains how to tell the difference between a crow's nest and a squirrel home. Instead of seeing meaningless piles of sticks or masses of leaves caught in the bare winter branches of deciduous trees, you will learn to identify them as the homes of birds and mammals.

The book comes with site-locator maps to help you find at a glance opportunities for exploring the area where you live or are planning to visit.
