Don't just call it a mushroom when it's a golden chanterelle; know your screech owl from your saw-whet owl; distinguish a monarch butterfly from a painted lady-all with the help of this comprehensive guide to the common plants and animals of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. The species accounts have been updated with the latest taxonomic changes and, as before, include common name, scientific name, and description of important features, habitat, and geographic range. Artist Stephen R. Whitney is the author of A Field Guide to the Grand Canyon. Naturalist Rob Sandelin teaches field and environmental science. Both live in western Washington. Related Products:
