National Audubon Society Field Guide to the Southwestern States: Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah (Audubon Field Guide)

What a GREAT reference tool! Pics are awesome, easy to see details, yet book size is perfect to sit on outdoor end table easily. We recently moved to the desert southwest so we are seeing plants and wildlife weve never seen before!! Now we have something to tell us what that bird... bug... plant is! I just love it! It would be a great value at twice the price, honestly!The quality of paper used is really good too. It is somewhere between a hard cover and a paper back. Inside pages are like a thick magazine type paper. Very nice quality. Especially for this price!

We just moved to Colorado from the east coast. My wife is a plant and wildlife aficionado and was frustrated that she was seeing things out here that we never saw on the east coast - and couldn't identify them. (Great move, BTW, will never go back east!) I bought her this book so she could quit asking me what the heck this or that was. ;-) Worth every penny. Besides that, it's well constructed and durable. Bright, clear photos.

I borrowed this book from my sister the last time we went to the southwest on vacation, and it’s a nice, compact field guide to the plants and animals of the southwest deserts. So I bought one to toss into my backpack, since I wander around being a biology nerd on vacations, and we are going again this fall.Great little book to have in hand if you just have to know what lizard that was sleeping in your boot, or what cactus you just sat on.

I like that this book covers animals and plants as well as birds. Unfortunately, I started using the book AFTER I downloaded a bird identifying app for my phone. The app is easier than hunting through pages looking for the bird I saw. Still, it's a great reference and has information about the National Parks in the Southwest. I've been to some of the National Parks reviewed in the book, and the reviews are accurate and informative.

Exactly what I needed. Moving to Arizona and wanted to know what was around me. Easy to read, pictures were clear. Plants, birds, constellations and of course creepy crawlers.

I love these regional guides to use as a starting point when I see something interesting. Give me the basis to ask the right questions if I want to explore further on the web. Carry full set in my little RV. Fun browsing in the evenings and then recognizing plants etc when hiking.

My family and I love these books! We have 3 for different regions. So fun to have for home and travel because you can look up the plants and animals you see and share with each other. My kids also love the book and learning about everything that is in it. Would highly recommend!

Spending the winter months in AZ and wanted a bird book to help identify some of the many species down here. This book is more than just a 'bird' book - I also found a great preserve in Nevada, has help with tracking common animals in the SW, has pictures & descriptions of many cactus and other flora & fauna. Well worth the price - lots of information.

We spend winters in Az and this is a great resourse
