Through the pages of Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak, renowned naturalist and award-winning photographer and educator Michael Runtz takes readers on a journey like no other, exploring the living treasures of diverse ecosystems from the vantage point of your canoe or kayak.
Allow Runtz's expert guidance to steer you through Northeastern waterways, as he weaves his extensive knowledge with a deep passion for the residents of the natural world. With every paddle stroke, a new realm of life, color and wonder is revealed.
In this portable, pick-up-and-read field guide, more than 350 species of flora and fauna are beautifully captured in full-color photographs. In addition to the larger, more recognizable species encountered along waterways, Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak also highlights lesser-known plants and animals, such as Sedges and Freshwater Sponges often overlooked by paddlers.
Whether you're an experienced naturalist, long-time paddler or curious newcomer, Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak profiles many of the plants and animals that inhabit the waterways, marshes and shorelines of the Northeast.
