The 100 sites included in this guide offer some of the most magnificent wildlife watching in the United States. Among the creatures:
* Alligators in Florida's Everglades
* Elk and pronghorn in Colorado's Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge
* Horseshoe crabs by the thousands at Delaware's Port Mahon Preserve
* Bald eagles in Missouri's Sandy Island Eagle Sanctuary
* Millions of Mexican free-tailed bats at Texas' Eckert James River Bat Cave
* Exotic forest birds in Hawaii's Waikamoi Preserve
* Orcas off Washington's San Juan Island
* Black bears in New Hampshire's Green Hills Preserve
Lavishly illustrated and easy-to-use, National Geographic's Guide to Wildlife Watching is perfect for planning a day trip, weekend jaunt, or holiday adventure to a place where the animals roam.

This review is from: National Geographic Guide to Wildlife Watching (Paperback)
The title says it all: Compact articles about 100 places to see wildlife. There are some decent photos, but the focus of the book is on information rather than art. Each article gives the key information on what is to be seen at each site, and advises on the best time of year to visit. The focus is on the natural history here, there is little information on where to stay or dine. But those topics can be left to more "ordinary" guides! Incidentally, the 100 sites are well-distributed across the country, and I even learned of one in my own state that I didn't know about .If the topic excites you, I predict you will find the book valuable.
