I was just browsing the back of the book The Nature of Southeast Alaska and came across a common name to scientific name index of common species of fauna and flora found in this area. The reason I’m excited is that the index seems more comprehensive than the listings found in most field guides that I own.
The book itself is unique among nature guides of this region. It is not primarily a field guide. Rather, it is a book that discusses the environment and the ecology and how that shapes the species that are found in Southeast Alaska. Most field guides don’t really tell you where you can find a particular species, or if they do it is only in very general terms. This book provides the reasons behind why species are found where they are, when they are.
