1) Turtleback Book National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England) by Knopf. This book is a great companion to take on your day hikes. Very good photo´s and descriptions to help identify various flora and fauna.¤

2) Turtleback Book National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England) by Knopf. This book is amazing!! It is very educational. I like how it has only the plants and animals that are specific to New England. The pictures are clear and the blurbs about the animals and plants have just the right amount of information in them for learning. I also like how it has other aspects like the night sky, geology, climate, ect. and it is well divided into those categories. I use this book to teach kids about what they find out in nature. It is easy for them to use and quickly find what they are looking at. It is also easy for them to read and understand. Some of them just like perusing through it to see what is around them. Once again, an amazing book for yourself, family, or for educational purposes. I wouldn´t travel in New England without it.¤

3) Turtleback Book National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England) by Knopf. After using the Northwest version of this Audubon series, the New England version was attractive as a companion field guide to my bird books. Like the Northwest version, the New England version hasn´t disappointed me.¤

5) Turtleback Book National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England) by Knopf. After flipping through and enjoying the sharp photography of this book, you will realize that it is also abounding in interesting facts concerning all of New England. Ever wonder what kind of fish you caught last summer or what that caterpillar will change into? Whether you need to know what kind of Oak tree is in your backyard or want to check out the constellations at various seasons - it´s in this book! Great (and small enough) to take on hikes to identify animal tracks, flowers and even mushrooms! Although I have a few birding books, I find this one is easiest to use for identification. If you live in NE and want to know what is happening outdoors this book will pique your interest.¤

7) Turtleback Book National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England) by Knopf. If you´re under the impression that the Northeast´s natural beauty has given way to high-rises, condominiums, and suburban sprawl, this volume will certainly change your mind. In actuality, the area comprising Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont--New England, in short--is home to an abundance of flora and fauna, whether it be marine life below sea level or alpine meadows above the tree line. In fact, New England is nothing less than a naturalist´s paradise. Much of the area has been scoured by glacial ice, leaving behind cirques, arętes, and a fjord, all of which are featured in a geology section. Fossils are highlighted too, alerting readers to the presence of dinosaur footprints in both Hadley, Massachusetts and Rocky Hill, Connecticut. In addition, an easy-to-use field guide assists readers in the identification of 1,000 of the area´s current inhabitants, including giant puffball mushrooms, a healthy sampling of conifers and hardwoods, and five species of shark. Field trip ideas, from secluded Baxter State Park (no paved roads, no hook-ups, no gas or groceries) to popular Acadia National Park in Maine, complete the picture. All this is compiled in a single volume that´s perfect for both armchair naturalists and those planning actual trips to the area.¤
