WILD WATCHING IN NEVADA
Nevada has
joined the “watchable wildlife” program that is spreading across
the West. A new Nevada Wildlife Viewing Guide, written by Jeanne
Clark, describes viewing spots around the state that recently have
been posted with the binocular symbol of the “watchable wildlife”
program. Guidebooks in this series list viewing areas by region
within each state. The guidebooks are small enough to sit
comfortably on a dashboard and light enough to drop into a day
pack. Spectacular wildlife sightings aren’t guaranteed; it may be
necessary to sit quietly for hours at a time. Nevada is home to
more than 680 species of wildlife, including more federally listed
threatened and endangered species than any other state.
The Nevada Wildlife Viewing Guide is available
through sporting goods stores or by contacting Falcon Press, P.O.
Box 1718, Helena, MT 59624 (800/582-2665). Paperback: $6.95.
Illustrated with maps, photos and sketches.
