Nestled along the Gulf coast and overlapping with ten ecoregions, Houston is a remarkably biodiverse city. Migratory birds pass through the Bayou City by the thousands each spring and fall. The many bayous are home to American Alligators and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Sections of Gulf Coast prairie remain, providing habitat for exquisitely colored Vermillion and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. With thousands of animals living in and around Houston, it helps to get acquainted with a smaller collection of the most representative species. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Houston Wildlife, which features 140 familiar mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, seashore creatures, butterflies, and other insects. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who are keen to learn Houston's animals and peer more closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
