again, not extensive enough for my needs, but good for beginners

[Stanley Dunagin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first Peterson First guide and I found it an interesting read. I think it would be a very good basic field guide, but it is not particularly applicable to my area of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. This book would be my go to book to narrow down family and species before continuing to a more detailed guide.

Incredibly interesting read, especially when slamdunk. Very informative.
