Observe the scuttling of shore crabs along Gulf Coast beaches, watch the state mammal—the Black Bear—munch on berries in the south Appalachians, or wander through forests of longleaf pine where brown-headed nuthatches busily feed. Alabama is a biodiversity hotspot, ranking fourth in the US in overall species diversity. The living laboratory that is the Yellowhammer State makes for tremendous nature study, and allows you to become better acquainted with the most representative life forms. In this nature set, we have packaged together three portable references—Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife. 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 terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to forge deeper and more meaningful connections with Alabama’s landscapes and bodies of water through the flora and fauna that lives here. Made in the USA.
