Animal Tracks of the Midwest Field Guide by expert tracker Jonathan Poppele features the tracks of more than 95 species of mammals found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. This new edition spotlights more species--including common birds and reptiles--as well as updated track illustrations, photographs, and information.

  • Fact-filled information: Scat photos and descriptions of other signs that animals leave behind
  • Accessible and informative: Easy enough for beginners yet detailed enough for experienced trackers
