Publisher's Description of Bird Tracks (Adventure Quick Guide)

Identify bird tracks with this pocket-size booklet, organized by track shape for convenience of use.

Whether you’re a tracker who studies animal tracks, a bird watcher, a gardener, or simply someone who appreciates nature and all of its curiosities, keep this convenient guide close at hand. Written by tracking expert Jonathan Poppele and designed for ease of use, the booklet is organized by similar track shapes and then by size for quick identification. Narrow your choices by shape, and view just a few bird tracks at a time.

The detailed illustrations cover 55 species of birds: backyard birds like the American Goldfinch, raptors like the Bald Eagle, game birds like the Ring-Necked Pheasant, and water birds like the Wood Duck. The illustrations are carefully drawn to resemble the track prints as you might see them in the field. Plus, size information, gait descriptions, and a step-by-step guide to track identification help to ensure positive ID. The tear-resistant pages make the booklet durable.

Category Description for Adventure Quick Guides

Spending time outdoors studying nature was the highlight of our homeschool day when my children were younger. We loved to be outdoors-observing and drawing. At times though, we would see a bird that was unfamiliar. While it was helpful to have a comprehensive bird guide with us, we often found it difficult to locate and identify the bird before he flew away! These quick guides have a definite advantage

over the larger bird guides! Organized by color, each page provides a snapshot of 10 birds with a brief description of other markings. That is all. Short, sweet and helpful! Added benefit, sections offer color-coded tabs that match birds. For example in the Birds of the Southwest, flip to the blue tab and you see 2 pages identified as "Mostly Blue" birds. A sampling of images included is: Mountain Bluebird, Blue Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting and Belted Kingfisher. Spiral bound, water-proof books, measure approximately 4 1/2x7 1/2"-perfect to tuck into your pocket or back pack. Approx. 20 pgs. ~Deanne
