Nevada Nature Set: Field Guides to Wildlife, Birds, Trees & Wildflowers of Nevada

By James Kavanagh and Waterford Press

Nevada is largely situated in the Great Basin, which is interspersed with many small mountain ranges running north to south. There is also the low-lying Mojave Desert, with its abundant cacti. Within these two ecoregions is a diverse array of animals, including Desert Bighorn Sheep (the state mammal), Mountain Bluebird (the state bird), and Desert Tortoise (the state reptile). When spring rains elicit the phenomenal blooming of desert wildflowers, butterflies and hummingbirds abound. To better acquaint you with the natural history of the Silver State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species, as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to sharpen their identification skills and peer more closely into the lives of some 300 of Nevada's most representative plants and animals. Made in the USA.
