Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""One day I was gazing out my window at a stretch of trees when I was suddenly struck with the realization that I couldn't name any of them .... like most Americans, I had somehow become an adult who could not claim even an elementary knowledge of my natural neighborhood."" "Thus begins Mary Blocksma's ambitious quest to identify the flora and fauna of her Great Lakes home. With no big program, no particular organization, Blocksma sets out to identify her environment just a name at a time, a few times a week, for a year. Covering everything from blue moons and bald eagles to arbor vitae and lake-effect snow, this book transports the armchair explorer out of the living room and into the forests and wetlands of the Great Lakes." "In this charming guide to the everyday but often overlooked ecological treasures that await the would-be naturalist, you'll find not just the names of plants and animals but tips on buying bird feeders, identifying spiders, and telling a blue jay from a belted kingfisher. Packed with helpful hints, novel trivia, and a useful "guide to guidebooks," Great Lakes Nature is sure to delight and educate."--BOOK JACKET.
