3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent descriptions, but disappointing photos,
By Kim Sanders (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Animal Tracks and Signs of North America: Recognize & Interpret Wildlife Clues (Paperback)
This book had excellent descriptions of tracks and habitats of different animals in North America, but I was disappointed in the photos. Most of the photos of tracks were in snow, not dirt or mud. Also, in order to get a description of track size,you must read the text. There were very few pictures of scat and other signs as well. This is a good book if you want to sit down and read about animal tracks and signs, but a poor reference in the field. If you want a field book, look elsewhere.
1.0 out of 5 stars
one useless book,

This review is from: Animal Tracks and Signs of North America: Recognize & Interpret Wildlife Clues (Paperback)
this book is really useless for identifying tracks. The photographs are blurry and almost all in snow.. This is Texas. I bought the Peterson Guide and that is the book to have. Should have gotten it in the first place. You might want to take this off your site.
