"... this laminated field guide is lightweight in size, but not information."--AAA New Mexico Journey Magazine "...these basic guides from Waterford Press are easy, convenient, brochures perfect for beginning or casual birders, and can also be valuable supplements for birders in new locations or who find themselves missing their larger field guides."--Melissa Mayntz "About.Com " "the lightweight and waterproof guides can easily be carried in a daypack or pocket on treks or hunting trips."--Idaho Statesman "Has this ever happened to you? Your out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 1/4" inches long and flat as yesterdays beer."--Chicago Press & Sun-Bulletin "Here's a handy way to impress your friends and identify trees and flowers in the park or your own back yard."--The Cincinnati Enquirer "I've found the Pocket Naturalist series of folding, plastic-coated identification charts excellent while out in the field on day trips.

Part of the Pocket Naturalist series from Waterford Press, this laminated field guide is light-weight in size, but not in information.

They cover most states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience."--Library Journal "The Pocket Naturalist series has something for everyone's backyard."--Garden Ideas & Outdoor Living "Want a handy, compact guide to your next travel destination?
