It's a wonderful field guide; one star removed because some of the sections need to be updated. But I'd be prepared to give all five stars to a corrected, updated version.

Bought a copy for this to keep around for nature trips. So now when my daughter captures a frog (or maybe that's a toad?) we can try to figure out what species it is. Also wanted to read up on what the venomous critters are in this part of the California, which seems to be just the Northern Pacific rattlesnake or Crotalus oreganus oreganus.
In addition to being the definitive reference for identification, there are some handy tips like how to make a lizard noose or snake fork, how to best perform night hunting along decrepit paved desert roads, and how to perform triangulation with two people to track down a barking frog.
