JAMES M. RYAN is professor of biology at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y. A well-respected, native-born naturalist and teacher, his publications include more than 25 scientific papers on the ecology, morphology, and behavior of mammals and birds.
Adirondack Wildlife has much to offer . . . well-written and
well-organized, [it] is a capably written . . . book that will help
fans of nature and the Adirondacks welcome back the warmer
weather.-- "The Sunday Gazette (Schenectady, NY)"
Adirondack Wildlife: A Field Guide by James Ryan contains brief
descriptions and comments on the behavior of the birds, fish,
amphibians, reptiles, mammals and even invertebrates of
northeastern New York. All but a few are found here as well, and
even those formerly restricted to the Adirondacks, like fisher,
otter and marten, are expanding their ranges beyond that
limitation.-- "Buffalo News"
Although it would be a welcome addition to an Adirondacker's book
shelf, Adirondack Wildlife is really meant to be thrown into a day
pack, dog-eared and filled with quickly-scribbled notes - a field
guide in the true sense of the word. A make-shift ruler in both
inches and centimeters can be found on the front and back inside
covers and amateur biologists can check off sightings on a species
checklist in the back of the guide.-- "Adirondack Daily Enterprise"
