FalconGuides’ Scats and Tracks of the Desert Southwest – A Field Guide to the Signs of 70 Wildlife Species
An interactive, regionally specific guide to recognizing what critters went before you—from North America’s most respected publisher of information
on outdoor recreation and the great outdoors
In Scats and Tracks of the Desert Southwest, we focus on the biogeographic region of Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, with details about the region’s most common or characteristic species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Each species is described with concisely worded yet detailed information, easily accessible by fast and easy navigation. Simple to use and intuitively designed, field-friendly and richly illustrated, this app is the key to starting off your outing on the right track!
Whether you're on the lookout for a kit fox, or trying to steer clear of a bear, FalconGuides’ Scats and Tracks of the Desert Southwest, prepared by nationally renowned tracker and author Dr. James Halfpenny, helps you recognize what critters went before you and is a perfect primer for reading the stories written in the sand.
This incomparable reference also includes a few rare species of particular interest or significance in this region. For example, what a coup it would be to document a jaguar in Arizona!
