Utah Nature Set: Field Guides to Wildlife, Birds, Trees & Wildflowers of Utah

With desert, the Colorado Plateau, the Rocky Mountains, forests, and the Great Salt Lake, Utah boasts some excellent opportunities for nature study, especially when it comes to waterfowl, wading birds, mammalian megafauna, and endemic plants. The state bird, California Gull, occupies lakes and wetlands, often alongside migratory ducks, geese, sandpipers, and plovers, all of which can congregate in astounding numbers. Bighorn Sheep traverse rocky ridges, while Pronghorns, American Bison, and Mule Deer forage in grasslands. To better acquaint you with the natural history of the Beehive State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species, as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a comprehensive three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who are passionate about Utah's plants and animals and wish to develop a deeper understanding of some 300 common species. Made in the USA.
