Shipping starts soon -- Reserve your copy here
For more than five decades, Sue Morse has followed wildlife across North America—tracking, watching, photographing, and learning from their unique signs and behaviors.
Now that lifetime of field experience has been gathered into the fourth edition of Wildlife and Habitats.
At more than 600 pages, this fourth edition is a dramatically expanded work, bringing together:
• Expanded and revisited essays
• Never-before-published photographs and insights
• Stories drawn from decades of tracking and field observation
• A sweeping portrait of dozens of species and the habitats on which they depend
Many of these essays began as articles Sue wrote over 30 years for Northern Woodlands magazine. For this edition, they have been substantially expanded and revisited, alongside new writing, new insights, and photographs gathered over decades in the field.

Why this book matters
As the sampler shows, this a unique body of work, a combination of Sue's scientific observations, lived experiences, and knack for visual storytelling. It reflects what can be learned only through years of patient attention to wild animals and the places they inhabit.
Who this book is for
The fourth edition of Wildlife and Habitats is for anyone who wants to see wildlife, their signs and habitats differently:
For the dedicated tracker or armchair naturalist.
For the casual hiker, or curious hunter.
For the photographer, conservationist, educator, student, wildlife biologist or forest landowner.
In short, for anyone who has ever stopped in the woods and wondered: What happened here?
Sue's essays invite you to look more closely—to notice tracks, scratches, feeding signs, scents, nests, rubs, and other clues, and to discover the stories they tell. Thousands of Sue's photographs bring the animals and their habits and habitats vividly to life.
