Summary

Here is an invitation into the after-sundown world of sights and sounds that lies beyond the glow of your campfire. In layman's language, but with scientific accuracy, Vinson Brown covers:

• How to sharpen your perceptions and become oriented in a world of shadows
• The telltale night signs and how to read them
• The night life-style of fish, reptiles and amphibians; what is revealed on the dark beaches and watersides
• How to observe and identify wild creatures without frightening them
• Plant life after dark
• How to perfect a sense of direction
• Saftey rules and equipment
• Photographing animals and plants at night; other fascinating projects

Maps on nearly every page show birds and mammals in every geographical location in North America
