Read all the bits on frogs and toads, don’t care about the rest. Great information overall. I especially enjoyed the attention given to identifying, as it is a field guide. While great descriptions, I wish there was more attention to differentiating the different species as many species are similar. All in all, a handy tool for identifying as it includes habitats, threat levels, descriptions of the calls, and full color high definition pictures. Definitely recommend.

This is a great pocket field guide. For anyone out looking to make IDs on frogs and toads, this little book is a must have. It is easy to take along because of it's size, and is fairly water resistant. Stan Tekiela field guides are always top notch

I've learned our common birds in West Michigan. Time to learn salamanders, frogs, lizards, snakes, and turtles!
