Revised, updated, and with more than 80 new color photographs, Rocky Mountain Mammals, Third Edition is a nontechnical guide to the mammals of the Southern Rocky Mountains and their foothills, with special emphasis on Rocky Mountain National Park and vicinity.Designed for quick reference and enjoyable reading, Rocky Mountain Mammals offers what most field guides don't--a wealth of fascinating information about each species. In seventy-two species accounts, David M. Armstrong describes each animal and its signs, habits, habitat, and natural history, noting times when seasonal events such as elk sparring occur.Introductory materials and appendices offer rich context and wildlife-watching support, including a checklist with page numbers for quick field reference, an identification key, a glossary, derivations of scientific names, and advice on how, when, and where to watch mammals. Armstrong introduces mammalian evolution, anatomy, and distribution and offers perspective on how the local fauna fits into its geographical setting and into past and potential future faunas of the region.This lavishly illustrated new edition will delight those who live in and visit the high country and foothills of the Southern Rockies and want to identify mammals and learn about their lives. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

This book was an excellent pick-up on my trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. It's a terrific introduction to mammals of the park that are so exciting, but weren't well known to me. The book opened my eyes in the park, and kept me learning on the plane home. I even used it later to engage my toddler niece in the animal life of the park -- and although she was not on the trip, the book made an impression that kept her talking about a class of animals a year later. I liked this book so much that now, whenever I visit a national park, I look for something like this if it exists.
pretty much a great thing to have if you live near the mountains. more pictures would make it a better book but the ones they have (one per mammal, tops)are still good enough and clear
Great book. Super deal.
