A neat, useful, pocket-size guide to animal tracks of New England, organized by animal type (mammal, birds/amphibians/reptiles). The entry for each animal includes an illustration of its fore and hind tracks, the measurements of the prints, and what the tracks look like when the animal is in motion. It also includes the animal's common and Latin name, a paragraph or two of description, and a note on similar species.
