Customer Reviews

So helpful!

This book is straightforward and helpful.

Excellent transaction

This is a wonderful book by National Audubon Society for the Pacific Northwest region. The transaction was very quick, and the packaging was professionally done. Thank you so much.

Truly Useful Field Guide

I have used this guide since I moved to Oregon from California. It is easy to use and has helped identify many plants and animals unfamiliar to me. I never go anywhere without it! This small book will fit in your backpack, tote, car glovebox, saddle bag, or a large jacket pocket. The pictures and text are accurate and give you a good "snapshot" of a new plant or animal. I have often loaned it or given a copy to friends who are new to the area and they too have enjoyed it. This guide should be a staple in your Pacific Northwest wildlife library.

Thorough, Compact, and Easy to Use

I highly recommend this field guide to anyone who is interested in the species found in the Pacific Northwest. It is especially great for beginners because it is easy to use and contains sections that cover diverse forms of life. If you're an expert and like to precicely identify mushrooms, for example, get a mushroom guidebook. Otherwise this is great for a quick reference to an amazing number of a variety of species in this area. I've had a lot of fun with it!

A Handy Reference Guide

I picked up this book after I knew I would be moving to Seattle. It is a great introduction to the geology, plant life, animals, and recreational areas of WA and OR. Done well, in typical Audubon fashion - I refer to it often.
