A handy field guide for my trip to Abaco. The first hundred pages or so is an introduction to the ecology and history of the Bahamas that had a lot of interesting facts. All of the plants and animals have photos that were helpful in identifying several creatures. My library only had a digital copy so I traveled light, but I would have preferred a hard copy for ease of use.
