Where did the cougar turn off the trail? What does it mean when two sets of footprints seem to coincide? This beautifully illustrated field guide, the first devoted to the tracks and signs of California animals-including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates like spiders and beetles-blends meticulous science with fiield experience to provide an engaging companion for both armchair exploration and easy field identification. Filled with useful tools for the wildlife expert, and essential background and visual aids for the novice, includng in-depth information about the ecology of each species, this book goes beyond basic recognition of types to interpret what animals leave behind as a way of "seeing" how they move through the world. 410 0$aCalifornia natural history guides. 606 $aAnimal tracks$zCalifornia$vIdentification 606 $aTracking and trailing$zCalifornia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnimal tracks 615 0$aTracking and trailing 676 $a591.47/9 700 $aElbroch$b Mark$01044337 701 $aEvans$b Jonah$01044338 701 $aKresky$b Michael$01044339 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462641603321 996 $aField guide to animal tracks and scat of California$92469934 997 $aUNINA
