Book Review: Butterflies Through Binoculars (The East)
Summary: 5 Stars
I took an Advanced Class for a Master Naturalist program and learned butterflies through a retired Forest Service employee (PhD). This is the book he used when teaching at a major university near the Great Lakes. The book covers a geographical range from Florida to the Canadian border and is perfect if you live in the south, mid-Atlantic or northeast.
If you are interested in learning butterflies and live in the eastern USA, this is the ONLY book you will ever need to purchase. The butterflies are presented in color photographs, both full and side views for each. The books plates also have the region of the eastern US the butterflies are found, their migration months and habitat. It includes a sizing chart and ways to identify butterflies based on anatomy which can help with the color photos.
Don't waste your money on any other book as this one will do everything you expect.

Summary of Butterflies through Binoculars: The East A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Eastern North America (Butterflies Through Binoculars Series)
This magnificent field guide greatly expands on Butterflies Through Binoculars: The Boston-New York-Washington Region--identified by Defenders of Wildlife Magazine as "the first to focus on netless butterflying" and called " a clear winner" by the Audubon Naturalist. Glassberg here shows us how to find, identify, and enjoy all of the butterflies native to the eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada. This guide:*Combines the immediacy and vividness of actual photographs of living butterflies with the traditional field guide format
*Emphasizes conservation over collection
*Includes 630 color photographs, arranged on 72 color plates, of butterflies in the wild
*Provides adjacent color maps that show where each species occurs in a given locality and for how much of the year
*Supplies entirely new field marks for butterfly identification
*Demonstrates how to identify subjects by way of the key characteristics butterflies are likely to display in their natural settings
*Shows how species can be recognized both from above and below
*Explains how to differentiate between males and females.
For butterfly enthusiasts, for bird watchers who want to add a new dimension to their hobby, for anyone who is simply interested in exploring the wilds of their own back yard, this new field guide offers hours of delightful help and instruction.
