Description

Oregon's lush, coastal forests of Sitka Spruce and Douglas-fir provide a refuge for the Spotted Owl, as well as several species of salamanders. Mountain Lions roam the Cascade Mountains, while Williamson's Sapsuckers and Canada Jays frequent alpine forests. The state bird, Western Meadowlark, can be found in the semi-desert east, where wetlands host dazzling congregations of waterfowl, Sandhill Cranes, and American White Pelicans. To better acquaint you with the natural history of the Beaver 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 comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to deepen their knowledge of more than 300 of Oregon's most familiar plants and animals. Made in the USA.
