3.0 out of 5 stars
Not very comprehensive,
By A Customer

This review is from: Pacific Coast (Audubon Society Nature Guides) (Paperback)
This broad series, which includes "Western Forests" and "Deserts" are too broad. They include only the most common plants, animals and insects. Since I already know the difference between a redwood tree and douglass fir, or a red fox and groundhog, I was looking for less common things. MANY times I have come home to look up a flower, bird, or insect, only to discover that it is not in the book. What is in the book is covered well, but there's not just enough in the book. Perhaps they should further break the guides into "Invertebrates of the Pacific Coast", "Plants of the Pacific Coast", etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful reference item for beach combing,

This review is from: Pacific Coast (Audubon Society Nature Guides) (Paperback)
Terrific companion to the Western Forests book (see my review on that book as well.) Sadly out of print, so grab a copy and hold onto it. Covers beachcombing and shell hunting, fish, birds, and wildlife as well as flora. Fantastic reference that covers even the poisonous and dangerous wildlife as well. Covers the entire West Coast from Mexico to Alaska; worth its weight in gold as a guidebook for hiking Redwood National Park's Gold Bluffs Beach.
