An old standby still has something to offer but shows its age

This landmark of its genre is still a good reference work but some elements are now out-of-date. The book covers a very broad range of species; both common familiar critters and animals only seen in limited ranges or infrequently where they do occur. It clearly shows its roots in wildlife rehabilitation in its treatment of this subject and of rehabilitators' particular concerns. However, it is written for the general lay reader and as a reference for people working with the public on wildlife concerns; not specifically to educate rehabilitators. There are more current books on this topic and books more focused specifically on rehabilitation. It may still be a useful work, especially for its broad coverage for non-specialists. But newer books and web published material from authoritative sources now fills much of that demand with more recent information.

excellent reference for wildlife care

I am a licensed rehabilitator and I wouldn't be without this book. The in-depth information on most all North American wildlife is truly valuable for all purposes, whether one is a rehabilitator or a homeowner trying to keep lids on garbage cans.
