"In a way the title of this excellent book is misleading. It goes beyond both the author's definition and the popular narrow perception of wildlife and its usefulness extends to all of southern New England.... Profusely illustrated in black and white, this book is packed with easily accessible information that most readers would have difficulty locating. An excellent bibliography for each chapter leads to additional sources of information. Although the book is primarily a reference, browsing through it is engaging and highly enjoyable."—Choice
