Nature Observation North America New Jersey Wildlife, (Paperback)

Rich in ecosystems, New Jersey is a great place to learn about and experience wildlife. Packed into its relatively small surface area are pine forests, hardwood forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, salt marshes, and seashore, all of which host an abundance of animals. Coastal Cape May is one of the best places in the US to witness bird migration, especially among waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, and songbirds. Fishing is also excellent in freshwater rivers, streams, and lakes, where you can find state fish Brook Trout. Iconic mammals like Black Bear, Red Fox, and White-tailed Deer are found throughout the Garden State. For many people, animals represent the face of an ecosystem, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species. You can do this with the portable reference New Jersey Wildlife, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, and butterflies. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with the land through its attendant animals. Made in the USA.
