This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fishes found in the Appalachian region spanning Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. A map of prominent regional wildlife-viewing hotspots is also included. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of portable information and ideal for field use by visitors and residents alike. Made in the USA.
