Great identification aid

A great guide to NW amphibians. I've used it in the field- it's easy to read and there is some really helpful info included that you wouldn't find in the Peterson Field Guide.

Great ID Guide

I really love Lone Pine field guides. Each book has its own style, but every Lone Pine guide I've read, including this one, has more than just identification tools - they actually teach you about the species they describe. That being said, the keys included in this book are very helpful - no matter how great the pictures, salamanders still confuse me. However, the key included makes it easy to identify a salamander (assuming you get more than a fleeting glance) or frog. Another hit for Lone Pine.

Amphibians of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

No scaley 'ol reptiles here! Just everything and more that you frog and salamander hobbyists want to know. Great quality color photos throughout, and book is organized so it is easily referred to again and again. I was especially impressed with the identification keys, photos and illustrations of egg, tadpole and juvenile (as well as adult) forms of most species.Much of the information is applicable to the rest of the United States. This book just knocked my socks off--and I collect books on amphibians!
