Pond Life, 2nd Ed: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants & Animals Living in or Near Ponds, Lakes & Wetlands (Nature Observation North America)

This brochure type guide is not the most detailed, but if you are in a boat, hiking along the shore or on a dock next to water, this waterproof guide is a quick way to make general identifications of common wildlife found in a normal pond. Clear pictures with names and general markings, this guide enables the beginning naturalist to do a general identification, so later they can look up for more detail using other more detailed field guides. I personally use these types of references for prep before an outing. Clear, compact, inexpensive, light weight, easy to use, and having the ability to resist water these brochure guides are a gateway to bigger better guides. Fun to use for kids, too!!

This is helpful when fishing

Very clear and easy to use. Study material, should hold up well to field use. Missing a few common species but very comprehensive for such a compact guide

Perfect resource when out in the woods, they are waterproof so they won't get ruined. Store easily in my pack. There is so much information on this one card is unreal.

Great Christmas presents for the kids. Opened up a whole new world for them and me.

Nice field guide to bring along while out in the field.

Handy, complete guide that is so well done!

Good laminated pocket guide. Nice pictures.
