Great content, not-so-great form factor
Derived From Web , Jan 7, 2022
The content of this volume is great, with useful illustrations and basic information about the flora and fauna of the Midwest, especially the Great Lakes region, where I live. The book is tightly bound, causing it to close unless it is held open with two hands. This makes for awkward browsing in the field, where only one hand may be available, the other occupied by a camera, binoculars, walking stick or whatever. A spiral or other loosening would allow it to lie flat in one hand and be held open on a table, a lap or a tree trunk.

Wonderful Field Guide for kids and adults
Derived From Web , Jan 6, 2022
This guide was compiled thoughtfully by the authors to cover the natural habitat of the Midwest. It covers trees, woodland animals, birds, fish, reptilian stars, lands formation, etc... anything that relates to the region is in this book. It is written in a simple yet informative way and breaks each natural process or concept into small usable pieces, so that even a child can use and enjoy the guide. If you are looking for a gift to your nature loving friend or children, it will grow well used with them through the years. I would like to see edge protectors added to the future printing to protect the covers when it is in a backpack, like other high-quality guides, of which I consider this. Well done, everyone.

Beautiful Clear Identifying Pictures
Derived From Web , Apr 29, 2021
It is comprehensive with star charts, climate and geology, etc. The photos are helpful and the organization of plants and animals is nice. The number of states it is supposed to cover is rather small, which is not a problem for me, because I live in the middle of what it includes. I think this book would be very useful from rural Tennessee to Kansas and south to Pennsylvania, honestly. The Midwest is neglected by some other publishers, such as the Audubon Society, so that this book is a very welcome addition.

Doesn't include Missouri.
Derived From Web , Mar 27, 2019
I was very mad at myself for not reading all the reviews before buying this book. It does not include all the Midwest states. It looks like a great book, it's a shame that it won 't work for me.

The book is easy to use and has great pictures of birds and ...
Derived From Web , Aug 15, 2018
Then I bought it for my husband. He has recently retired and has taken the birds on a much larger scale than we did in winter. He was constantly asking me what species of bird is that? I know only a few birds and I am tired of saying I don 't have any idea, look it up on your phone. It is much easier to keep the book right there and he can compare it with the birds on the feeders. He loves her. He educates himself and me about the many types of birds we feed. The book is easy to use and has good pictures of birds and as a bonus all the other critters, plants etc. that are around here. He learned a lot about plants, bugs, etc and loves to share his new knowledge with everyone.

If I could only take one general field guide for my region, this would be it
Derived From Web , Apr 11, 2018
I like the Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America and regularly bring it with me when I go birding. Living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I decided to order his Field Guide to Nature of the Midwest to use perhaps as a general field guide when I go camping or on short hikes. Like his bird guide, the photographs in this guide are also excellent. Anyone who is very serious about birds, or wildflowers, or butterflies or mushrooms would naturally carry a field guide dedicated to their one specific subject. But outside of birding, I am not that serious about the other flora and fauna, and I think this book covers enough wildflowers, dragonflies, insects etc. In the Midwest, to serve a quite useful purpose, and would make for a handy volume to put in the backpack or keep in the camper. For this purpose, I highly recommend this book as a general one-stop guide, especially at $8.87, the price can not be beat.
