Product Description
National Audubon Field Guides 103807 By Liberty Mountain
Amazon.com Review
Consider the lynx, a medium-sized cat of boreal regions of North America, "a solitary animal, associated with the opposite sex only during mating." Consider the Oldfield mouse, Peromyscus polionotus, once abundant in abandoned fields and beaches from South Carolina to northern Florida. These are but two of the 390 species covered in this densely informative, well-illustrated guidebook to the mammals of North America, with photographs keyed to textual descriptions that cover a given animal's physical features, range and habitat, breeding characteristics, and behavior (and, helpfully, that list other animals with which it might be confused). This easy-to-use handbook makes a superb addition to any naturalist's library. --Gregory McNamee

 National Audubon Society Field Guide to N. American Mammals November 7, 2009
Michele M. Towery
Poor for my needs. Didn't have the mammals I needed. Not at all comprehensive.
 Excellent reference book!! September 14, 2009
J. Beaudry (New Hampshire)
The National Audubon Society's Guide to North American Mammals guide is excellent. We have learned so much for this guide!
Excellent Guide January 15, 2009
P. Burley (Douglas County Colorado)
This is an excellent guide for anyone who has interest in the animals who live near and among us. It is authoritative, easy to use. Novices and experienced observers alike will find the book useful in identifying the animals they see and will be drawn in to learn about habits and habitats around them. When planning a hike or a stroll through the woods, this book and a pair of binoculars will complete the day.

All of the National audubon society books are very informative and handy everyday reference guides.
 Beautiful but SHALLOW! August 13, 2008

I don't know why the individuals who gave 5 stars, did so. The most beautiful, striking part of this book is the photographs. They're great!! hands down. However the narration on each animal just follows 8 basic formatted questions, Range, Size, offspring, Etc.; definitely necessary info but it's very shallow to stop there. Besides a few scattered phrases there is very minimal specific,unique info regarding an individual mammal that any animal lover would've expected to find even some basic stuff! The narration is definitely overly general and vague. THEY created a template and just filled it in. I expected alot more. I see that there are other books that have much more info but pictures? "fahgetta- battit" (these are hard to beat!) I guess you need both. It was definitely an improvement over past Audubon books. I wouldn't buy another Audubon guide online but rather in store & see for myself. I know there's only so much space in 1 book but ITS VERY SHALLOW!
