The Poconos: An Illustrated Natural History Guide

Rating:
Summary: The Poconos in black and white
Review: My first impulse upon receiving the book was to return it because I thought it would be illustrated in color of the flora and fauna in the Poconos. But I gave it a second look and discovered that it was quite thorough in its information. For instance, it gives you 'places to see'geological features of the mountains, where eagles winter, where to find Pocono bogs and wetlands,and places of natural history. The authors detail what animals, plants and amphibians can be found in the area. Overall the book is quite comprehensive on wildlife. With an Audobon guide for identifying plants in color, this is a very good book for taking along on hikes or camping or for just wanting to know 'what's around.'
