Description

The vast peninsula of Florida features a remarkable assemblage of unique ecoregions, including mangrove swamps, salt marshes, coastal plains, oak forests, pine forests, prairies, and of course the massive Everglades. These habitats, coupled with a warm, humid climate, support a mix of temperate and subtropical life forms, including Roseate Spoonbills, West Indian Manatees, and Sabal Palms. To better acquaint you with the rich natural history of the Sunshine 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 sharpen their identification skills and develop a deeper understanding of the fascinating lives of Florida's plants and animals. Made in the USA.
