Review

"... this laminated field guide is lightweight in size, but not information."--AAA New Mexico Journey Magazine
"...these basic guides from Waterford Press are easy, convenient, brochures perfect for beginning or casual birders, and can also be valuable supplements for birders in new locations or who find themselves missing their larger field guides."--Melissa Mayntz "About.Com "
"the lightweight and waterproof guides can easily be carried in a daypack or pocket on treks or hunting trips."--Idaho Statesman
"Has this ever happened to you? Your out in a field or in the forest or on a stream and a bird flashes by. You get a good look at it, note its most prominent features, but you're not sure what it is. You could look it up in a bird book, but who carries a bird book a field when the whole idea is to travel as light as possible? Now Waterford Press has come up with something that solves the problem: a pocket sized bird guide that is four inches wide, 8 1/4" inches long and flat as yesterdays beer."--Chicago Press & Sun-Bulletin
"Here's a handy way to impress your friends and identify trees and flowers in the park or your own back yard."--The Cincinnati Enquirer
"I've found the Pocket Naturalist series of folding, plastic-coated identification charts excellent while out in the field on day trips. Not only do they fold easily and hardly take any space in a pocket or backpack, but they're also accurate and a great aid."--The O.W.L. - Newsletter of the New Jersey Outdoor Women's League, Inc.
"If you're planning a business trip and don't have room to pack bulky field guides, consider ordering a couple to tuck into a pocket of your carry-on bag or briefcase.... They're great visual aids for family vacation or nature hikes with your youngsters."--Wisconsin Natural Resources
"In the simplified Pocket Naturalist series...you can not only see the birds of Tennessee, but also get the 25 hottest places to watch them."--Nashville Tennessean
"New Mexico Birds can tell you if you've spotted a belted kingfisher or a ruby-crowned kinglet. Part of the Pocket Naturalist series from Waterford Press, this laminated field guide is light-weight in size, but not in information. Full color illustrations provide quick reference and identification tips. Pocket Naturalist guides retail for $5.95 and are available in most major bookstores; "--New Mexico Journal
"Pocket Naturalist guides are to nature-loving backpackers what Cliff Notes are to teens trying to navigate Shakespeare: essential."--Backpacker Magazine
"The "Pocket Naturalist Guides" are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (31/2" x 81/4" folded, open to 22" x 81/4"), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover most states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience."--Library Journal
"The Pocket Naturalist series has something for everyone's backyard."--Garden Ideas & Outdoor Living

In addition to the illustrations, there is enough descriptive material on each species to key in on and follow up when it is convenient to scour the books for greater detail and confirmation."--The North Woods Call
