Description

Colorado has a broad assortment of ecosystems, including shortgrass prairie, canyons, riverbeds, sagebrush steppe, and alpine meadows. These support a unique assemblage of wildlife, including iconic species like Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Elk, Pronghorns, Bald Eagles, American Dippers, Mountain Plovers, and Lark Buntings, not to mention over 2,600 hundred plant species. To better acquaint you with the rich natural history of the Centennial State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with Colorado's rugged landscapes and develop a deeper understanding of their attendant plants and animals. Made in the USA.
