Washington DC Wildlife : A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Animals

Located at the intersection of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, Washington DC is rich in wildlife. With almost 20 per cent of the US capitol comprised of green space, there are many opportunities to observe and learn about such animals as Red-tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles, Virginia Opossums, Eastern Box Turtles, and Monarch butterflies. During spring and fall migration, songbirds pass through DC in impressive numbers. Connecting with a natural area often begins with animals, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Washington DC Wildlife, which includes 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and other insects. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to connect more deeply with DC's animals and peer more closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
