Mammals

I bought this book in California when I went in November 99 and even though I didn't actually use it there I found it very useful for identifying animals I'd seen before. At the back of the book is a card with the most common and recognizable species of mammal and page numbers so if you see an animal, you can look at this card and find out what it was and confirm your identification in the book itself. Although a beginner's guide (it doesn't feature many other North American mammals that other field guides do) but it simply shows the most common ones that you're likely to find out in the field. I give this book 5 stars.
