Here, Joe LaTourrette and the experts at the National Wildlife Federation explain everything you need to know - the how, when, and where - to observe wildlife throughout North America, regardless of your chosen outdoor activity. You'll learn what to look and listen for, such as calls, tracks, and other signs. You will develop a basic understanding of the behavior and habits of wildlife, maximizing your viewing experience. For each of the major habitat types - forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, and coastal areas - veteran naturalist and environmentalist LaTourrette tells you which animals you are likely to come across and what time of day or year you're most likely to see them. Most important, the book provides viewing techniques that ensure that the animals will not be disturbed, and that their habitats will be preserved and respected.
