The most important field marks of more than 500 species of the Chesapeake Bay are shown in 350 superb pen-and-ink drawings.
This book has become the definitive field guide to the Chesapeake. Flora and fauna descriptions are arranged according to the bay’s nine major habitats—from freshwater wetlands to saltwater marshes. The most important field marks of more than 500 species are shown in 350 superb pen-and-ink drawings, which make this benchmark work as beautiful as it is useful.
This guide is designed as a user-friendly introduction to the natural history of the Chesapeake Bay. Scientific jargon is kept to a minimum. Illustrations and text are paired to present an easy-to-use primer on the estuarine system. The book takes an ecological approach to life above and below the Chesapeake’s surface. Wetland and aquatic communities are emphasized.
