Learn to identify animals, plants, and fungi wherever you go with this
step-by-step guide for spotting and recording key traits and
characteristics.
If you've ever consulted a field guide to identify a new bird at your
feeder, you know the process isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, it
seems like you have to know a lot about that mystery bird to even
figure out where to start.
The Everyday Naturalist fills in the gaps by explaining what traits to
pay attention to when encountering a new species; how and when to use
field guides, apps, and other resources; what to do if you get stuck;
and more. Rather than focusing on one region or continent, these skills
and tools are designed to help you classify nature anywhere you
are—whether on familiar territory, traveling, or in a new home.
In chapters about animals, plants, fungi, and organisms like lichens
and slime molds, naturalist and guide Rebecca Lexa goes into detail
about what sets each of these kingdoms apart from each other—from
color, shape, and texture to sexual characteristics, behavior, and
habitat—and includes more than forty full-color photos and drawings to
illustrate key points. She also provides detailed case studies to
demonstrate how to use all of these traits to identify specimens across
multiple kingdoms.
This easy-to-follow guide empowers you to learn more about the species
around you, then use what you know to preserve the world you love. And
at a time when biodiversity is imperiled worldwide, nature needs more
advocates than ever.
