For each ofthe birds there is a map oftheir range, a brief paragrapgh on where they live/where they migrate to, animal food they eat, plant food they eat (with specific plants listed)

For the animal sections it the same sort of info - a map of their range, a tidbit of info on the animal, and then animal and plant foods they eat with the plants listed out.

In the plant sections, similar to the others there is a map of the range, some quite interesting tidbits about the plants, andt hen a listing of who eats them.

Refernces are given for each entry so you can look up additional info if you wanted to.

I really love this book. I was hoping to attract flying squirrels when I discovered using this book that we already have the habitat they love....one day last summer something jumped onto our screen window and scurried about......it was a flying squirrel. Pretty cool! I keep planting plants for wildlife and its been a lot of fun to see who comes to visit. i do cross refernce the plants in here with other books so I can be sure that what I'm planting is native rather than an exotic and so I can get a feel for what the plant needs/will do. High;y recommended!!

Summary: Good, but a bit out-of-date
Comment: This book is very helpful to gain insight on the feeding habits of our wildlife. However, this book was first printed in 1951 and is somewhat out of date. With all the studies that have taken place since then, it would be a great idea if a second, updated version were to be released. I say buy the book, but look deeper into the pros and cons of any "great wildlife plant" before you go and place it on your farm.

Summary: That animal eats that?
Comment: This book was a required by my professor in my Wildlife Techniques class in college. This book is old, as all Dover Press books are but the information in this book is extremely detailed. This book works two ways. You can look up the animal you are interested in to find out what it eats or you can look up plants and see what animals eat them. This book is must if you are curious to see what wildlife is interested in eating especially if you are interested in attracting wildlife to your property or maybe getting rid of the plants that are causing too much wildlife to be on your property.
