Download or read book Wildlife Watching in America s National Parks written by Gary W. Vequist and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Great Smoky Mountains to Point Reyes National Seashore, America’s national parks are home to some of nature’s great wildlife spectacles. Here, Gary W. Vequist and Daniel S. Licht, two veterans of the National Park Service, focus on twelve animals that have been imperiled and at risk, but are now protected within the National Park System. Showcasing one species for each month of the year, including gray wolf, black bear, prairie dog, sea turtle, bison, bats, salmon, elk, beaver, American alligator, gray whale, and bald eagle, Vequist and Licht pair each premier species with a featured park, adding information about other parks where the species may also be readily seen and identifying other animals to look for in the same habitat—animals that prey, are preyed upon, or exist side by side with the focal species. Beyond being a guide to observing these remarkable animals, Wildlife Watching in America’s National Parks, as the title implies, is also a book about America’s national parks. Reminding Americans why national parks are truly our “best idea” and encouraging readers to go find out why, these career wildlife specialists stress that it is “impossible to fathom America without these animals and without the parks in which they reside.” Nature lovers, travelers, and outdoor hobbyists of all types will be enthralled by this inside view of America’s wildlife and the breathtaking photographs of places they inhabit.

Download or read book Where to See Wildlife on Vancouver Island written by Kim Goldberg and published by Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 1997 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vancouver Island is one of the richest wildlife viewing areas in Canada, with diverse and extraordinary creatures ranging from Anise Swallowtails to Opalescent Squid to Gray Whales. With more than 200 colour photographs, plus maps, index, a calendar of events, species checklists, seasonal bar graphs, and safety tips, this book is perfect for both the serious naturalist and the weekend wildlife watcher. Vancouver Island, one of British Columbia's holiday hotspots, is 450 kilometres long with an astounding range of wildlife habitats: lush, mossy rainforests, a mountain range with peaks that reach over 2,000 metres, fertile lowlands, productive estuaries and pockets of near-desert habitat. This diversity, combined with the Island's placement on the Pacific flyway for migratory birds, gives the area a remarkable range of animals and plants. Where to See Wildlife on Vancouver Island, written by award-winning journalist and author Kim Goldberg and the first wildlife guide book devoted to the island, introduces 50 of the best wildlife viewing sites and is illustrated with maps and over 200 colour photos of island animals and plants. The 50 sites stretch from Victoria to Port McNeill on the east coast, and from East Sooke to Tofino on the west coast, where possibilities for viewing wildlife - even some endangered species - abound. 387 species of birds have been recorded here, along with 66 butterflies and 50 mammals including the Northern Sea Lion, Black Bear and Roosevelt Elk. Vancouver Island also supports 25 percent of the world's Trumpeter Swan population each winter, 100 percent of the world's endangered Vancouver Island Marmots, and receives an annual "sail past" of 21,000 Gray Whales each spring, virtually the entire global population. Nearly all the sites included in the book are readily accessible by car or ferry. In addition to the site descriptions, maps and illustrations, Goldberg's user-friendly and information-packed book contains interesting facts about wildlife and their habitat, a wildlife viewing calendar, tips for ethical adventuring, bear and cougar precautions and checklists for island mammals, birds, herptiles and butterflies.
