product description

Description

With rich hardwood forests, Appalachian coniferous forests, and coastal salt and freshwater marshes, Virginia is a wildlife-rich state. Black Bears and White-tailed Deer are stand-outs in the hardwood forests that cover nearly half of Virginia. Here, there are also numerous species of breeding wood-warblers. In swampy forests, luminous Prothonotary Warblers nest in cavities. Virginia is particularly renowned for its astounding diversity of salamanders, which occupy various habitats. The sharply colored Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is the state insect. Animals often represent the face of an ecosystem, so it helps to get acquainted with the most familiar species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Virginia Wildlife, which features 140 common mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, 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 wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections the with the land through its animals. Made in the USA.
