The Washington Trails Assn. has recently produced a new Pocket Naturalist Guide featuring many of the animals commonly seen around the Northwest. The laminated, fold-out guide contains images of over 40 animals and large birds, from tiny pika, chimpmunks, and marmots to foxes, eagles, elk, moose, large cats, and bears. It features illustrations of their tracks and information for size comparison and other traceable features. An additional section also suggests some of the best hiking locations for viewing specific animals. And featured on the back of the guide—representing our own two-legged species—is a photo of Mitzi hiking above Mt. Rainier's Glacier Basin.
This great new guide—small and light enough to stash in any pack or pocket for quick reference—is only available thru the Washington Trails Assn. as an exclusive membership premium for 2010. Log on to the WTA's membership page, become a member, or renew an existing membership, and under Additional Information, check the box for Tracks Pocket Field Guide. Membership funds for joining the Washington Trails Assn. directly support trails and wildlands throughout Washington, and include a subscription to Washington Trails magazine. And speaking of Washington Trails, I'll have an article and photos about backpacking in Olympic's Enchanted Valley coming in the July/Aug. issue. Check it out!
