I love this book so much. I love all of Stan Tekiela's field guides. I was gifted their Birds of Minnesota book for my 12th or 13th birthday. Now I'm 19 and live in Michigan and have their books on mammals, reptiles and amphibians, and birds of Michigan. I can't wait to read more!
Seriously, these are like my favorite books ever.
The pictures are beautiful, the design is easy for me to understand, and the information is well researched.
Stan Tekiela is an inspiration.

Inspired by a muskrat my son and I spotted in a ditch near Reed's Lake, I decided to get to know more of my Michigan neighbors, and start a checklist. Lots of bats, shrews, and mice species to learn. If the bats could please hold still for a few moments in plain sight, that would make identification much easier.
