Arizona

The second in a series of state guides to butterfly-watching, this book will appeal equally to those who simply enjoy these beautiful insects and to the serious observer who keeps a life list. With 334 species of butterflies reported, Arizona ranks second only to Texas, and like Texas, its proximity to Mexico brings the prospect of exotic butterflies not readily seen elsewhere in the United States. Thirty-five sites are divided among seven regions and eash site includes a map and concise driving directions to recommended stops. The authors give a species-by-species account of Arizona's butterflies, with recommendations for the best places to find them. They also provide a month-by-month guide to the best places to find butterflies throughout the year. A full checklist of the butterflies of Arizona is included as an appendix.

As a side effect of researching and spending so much time at Grand Canyon National Park, Flood Hefley found himself writing Grand Canyon Trivia Trek almost by accident. Filled with interesting “bet-yadidn’t- know” nuggets of trivia, this book is the perfect companion for enriching your experience of the park. The reader’s connection to the park will deepen as the answers to their nagging questions are revealed— along with answers to questions they never thought to ask.
