A diverse and habitat-rich state, California offers many spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities. On a visit to California there is an opportunity to see grey whales breaching off the coast during migration, to thousands of snow geese taking to flight at the same moment. California Wildlife is the ideal pocket-sized, folding guide for the seasonal visitor or resident. Over 140 familiar species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and fishes are highlighted with exquisite illustrations. Created and printed in the USA, this guide was updated in 2012 with a new cover design and a back panel map highlighting the state's prominent wildlife sanctuaries. This is the nature guide to take along as you marvel at the diversity of California's wildlife.
