 | Excellent General Field Guide To Florida Apr 28, 2008 |
| This is an excellent field guide, with tons of color pictures, that cover lots of species of flora, fauna, birds and much more. Even though I am a Florida native, I have personally been using it for many years, and still carry it with me whenever I am outdoors. Our local Audubon chapter has also been providing it to local schools, teachers and children for many years. Highly recommend as a good, general guide to anyone interested in learning about Florida wildlife, plants and trees and much more. Co-president, Flagler Audubon Society | | | | Great reference book Oct 25, 2007 |
| I sent this book to my brother who just relocated to Marco Island. I happened to call him before the date I thought it would arrive and he said he had already used it. It's a great reference book to figure out what kind of critter you're seeing. | | | | Great for Florida Aug 27, 2007 |
| I use this in addition to other books (Handbook of Nature Study-Anna Botsford Comstock) For nature Study. Perfect. | | | | Loved It Aug 23, 2007 |
| I carry this book along in the car and use it anytime I go camping or to the state park. It is very informative and it contains most all the animals and insects I check for. | | |  | Broad but shallow May 31, 2007 |
| It is typical for guides on everything within a political boundary to lack depth yet be difficult to wade through. But in all, this guide does a good job. | | | Write your own review about National Audubon Society Regional Guide to Florida
