Synopsis

Along Wisconsin’s extensive Great Lakes shorelines and within its large tracts of forest are thousands of types of animals, from state mammal White-tailed Deer to state bird American Robin. Rich hardwood forests host Black Bears, thrushes, flycatchers, and numerous wood-warblers. Canada Jays and Moose inhabit northern boreal forests. Lakes and wetlands are congregation sites for waterfowl and shorebirds. Animals often represent the face of an ecosystem, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Wisconsin Wildlife, which features 140 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and other insects, as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who are keen to deepen their relationship with the land by getting to know its attendant animals. Made in the USA.
