"Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest" is all about coexisting with the animals commonly found in gardens, ponds, attics, crawl spaces, and other places where humans and wildlife cross paths throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. From bats to woodpeckers, sixty-eight species are described here, with details about feeding and mating habits, family structures, and life cycles. "Living with Wildlife" explains how to attract animals; how to spot their presence by identifying tracks, droppings, and other signs; and how and where to safely view them. Focusing on the species that provoke the most calls to wildlife agencies and nonprofit groups, the book provides detailed information on how to prevent and solve conflicts with wildlife. This book is a valuable reference for homeowners, property owners, and property managers; habitat restoration professionals; the wildlife control industry; and private and nonprofit wildlife groups. It can also be used in horticulture and urban wildlife management courses. "Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest" includes information on: 68 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians; feeding habits, nesting sites, reproductive habits, ranges, and longevity; signs of animals' presence, including tracks, nests, scratch marks, droppings, and calls; viewing and attracting animals; preventing conflicts with animals; controlling animals; public health concerns; legal status of each species; trapping wildlife; evicting animals from buildings; and hiring a wildlife damage control specialist.

The best book of its kind,
This review is from: Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest fills a huge hole in creating understanding of the wildlife we share our beautiful region with. Each description is packed with useful information on how to identify an animal, its habits and preferred habitat and its legal status to name just a few categories. This is a "must have" for anyone who wants to learn more.
