Field Guide to the Cayuga Lake Region

Field Guide to the Cayuga Lake Region: Its Flora, Fauna, and Geology, 2nd ed.

The Cayuga Lake region abounds with a great diversity of plant and animal species. Many of these are commonly encountered during outdoor adventures in this beautiful area of Central New York. Native species that have made this region their home for thousands of years intermingle with recently introduced “alien” invaders from other parts of the world, all contributing to the modern ecology of the woods, fields, streams, and gorges that surround Cayuga Lake.

This book will help you to identify and learn more about over 300 of these species—including fungi, plants, and animals—as well as commonly encountered fossil remains of organisms that lived in a sea that covered this region 370 million years ago.
