Ken ibado Jewelry Design & Fabrication e Lights Are On Design Studio 3003 Main St. / Old Forge 10 - 5 Tuesday - Saturday (And when the lights are on) 315.527.2398 Ken ibado.com 60 Summer 2014 LOCALadk New York Wildlife Viewing Guide Published by Adventure Publications, 2012 Recommendation by LOCALadk staff The Adirondacks, as well as many locations throughout New York State, are home to many different wild animals. The Department of Environmental Conservation in association with the Nature Conservancy, Audubon New York, NYC Parks Department, Empire State Development, and the Watchable Wildlife have designed a new book to help show some of the prime spots to look for certain animals. The book obviously does not guarantee the reader will, in fact, see described animal. Rather it is a guide to areas where certain animals frequent. The book does its best to cover the entire state, breaking it down into seven geographical regions, including not only the Adirondacks but also New York City. Each region is categorized by three types of viewing; Premier, Great, and Good. It is quick and easy to locate an area, as it is color coded by region. The areas that are shown include a description of the habitat, the wildlife you want to watch for, directions, and a description of trails that are available to explore. The book also features beautiful full color photography on just about every page. Animals have keen senses, so the book offers helpful hints on how to watch for the animals, listen for them and, as always, learn from them. New York Wildlife Viewing is not meant to replace some of the more in-depth animal guide books, but instead offer a user-friendly guide to some of the amazing animals who have made New York State their home. LOCALadk is recommending this as a great book to stash in your car or home and source as a quick reference to what wild animals may live in your neck of the woods or the woods you are visiting.
