Publisher's Synopsis
Located along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Philadelphia offers many opportunities to observe and learn about wildlife. The City of Brotherly Love is in the midst of the Eastern Deciduous Forest region, making it an important breeding site for a wide variety of Neotropical songbirds. Freshwater tidal marshes attract waterfowl, shorebirds, and numerous reptiles and amphibians. Coyotes and White-tailed can be seen at various sites throughout the city. Connecting with green spaces often starts with animals, so it helps to get acquainted with an area's most representative species. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Philadelphia Wildlife, which features 140 common and familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and other insects. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who are keen to learn more about Philadelphia's animals and peer more closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
