This manual covers the A Field Guide to Your Own Back Yard (Second Edition), authored by John Hanson Mitchell and published by Countryman Press. This guide, released on April 24, 2014, is designed to enhance appreciation for the small citizens of the world and introduce readers to the diverse wildlife that inhabits our immediate surroundings. It explores the natural world found in various yard environments, from small grassy areas to larger expanses of forest and field, highlighting the rich ecology and behavior of local plants, insects, and animals.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a comprehensive resource for understanding and interacting with the natural environment close to home. It details various aspects of local wildlife, including their habitats, behaviors, and ecological significance. By providing insights and practical knowledge, this guide aims to foster a deeper connection with nature and encourage the observation and appreciation of the myriad of life forms that share our living spaces, making it an invaluable tool for naturalists and curious individuals alike.
Here is a book to enhance our appreciation of the small citizens of the world and to introduce us to the neighbors we never knew we had, from spotted salamanders to meadow voles, from snowy tree crickets to ambrosia beetles, all living within steps of your door.
“If there is grass and a few scraggling trees, there will be wildlife,” suggests John Hanson Mitchell, an internationally recognized naturalist and advocate for tuning your senses to the wonders of your environment. Whether your yard consists of a small stretch of grass or a rambling mix of forest and field, Mitchell will introduce you to the wealth of plants, insects, and animals that share your corner of the world. Learn how the behavior at the birdfeeder mirrors that of the wild woods; get an inside view of the rich ecology of the woodpile; learn why you might want to welcome a skunk into your garden. In short, you’ll get to know the neighbors you never knew you had who make their homes all around yours. With wisdom and humor, this book reacquaints you with the denizens of your own local habitat.
