In addition to the illustrations, there is enough descriptive material on each species to key in on and follow up when it is convenient to scour the books for greater detail and confirmation."--The North Woods Call "... this laminated field guide is lightweight in size, but not information."--AAA New Mexico Journey Magazine "the lightweight and waterproff guides can easily be carried in a daypack or pocket on treks or hunting trips."--Idaho Statesman "Comprised primarily of beautiful and realistic color illustrations, the guide show mostly male butterfly and moth wings from the upper side...a section on caterpillars and pupae is included."--Bristol Herald Courier "Has this ever happened to you? Your out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 1/4" inches long and flat as yesterdays beer."--Chicago Press & Sun-Bulletin "Here's a handy way to impress your friends and identify trees and flowers in the park or your own back yard."--The Cincinnati Enquirer "I've found the Pocket Naturalist series of folding, plastic-coated identification charts excellent while out in the field on day trips. Not only do they fold easily and hardly take any space in a pocket or backpack, but they're also accurate and a great aid."--The O.W.L. - Newsletter of the New Jersey Outdoor Women's League, Inc. "If you're planning a business trip and don't have room to pack bulky field guides, consider ordering a couple to tuck into a pocket of your carry-on bag or briefcase.... They're great visual aids for family vacation or nature hikes with your youngsters."--Wisconsin Natural Resources "In the simplified Pocket Naturalist series...you can not only see the birds of Tennessee, but also get the 25 hottest places to watch them."--Nashville Tennessean "New Mexico Birds can tell you if you've spotted a belted kingfisher or a ruby-crowned kinglet. Part of the Pocket Naturalist series from Waterford Press, this laminated field guide is light-weight in size, but not in information. Full color illustrations provide quick reference and identification tips.
