The Nature Of Alaska is a beautifully illustrated guide which highlights more than 275 familiar plants and animals, and dozens of Alaska's natural attractions.

Alaska Birds Field Guide,
By
This review is from: Alaska Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (State Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
This is a decent field guide for quick reference. But there is only one example for each species and the birds are in their breeding plumage. Good if you are in Alaska during the spring time and only looking for one gender.

Excellent field guide,

This review is from: Alaska Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (State Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
This field guide was very useful during our recent inspection of our Alaskan property. It's small size makes it easy to carry while hiking in the forest, and it contains all the most common birds you might see throughout the state. We were able to quickly identify and differentiate the birds we spotted using this guide. Now, if they could only come out with a bird song guide (on CD/DVD obviously) it would be even easier to identify the local birds!!

This review is from: Alaska Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (State Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
On a recent trip to Alaska, we went hiking in the rain and this little pamphlet was the only thing that surveyed the downpour unharmed- very brief by nature it helped me differentiate water fowl and other common birds in the mountains.
