Re: Preliminary:Forestry
yes
for ornithology, we used peterson as a field guide
but we used the pictures of nwf for flashcards at the beginning
and i think the pictures are helpful
and i wouldn't use sibley for forestry, in particular
ive peeked at it and when comparing forestry sibley to foresty nwf, i like photographs better for trees
and nwf's photographs are pretty good, mind you

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
Does anyone know any good forestry guides? The ones I found at the library weren't very helpful.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
A belated thank-you, Flavorflav. I was wondering because my Fossils field guide has a section on plants, which included trees (mostly extinct).Flavorflav wrote:No one can answer this with complete assurance until the rules are official, but in the past the ID events have never included extinct species as far as I can recall.Cheesy Pie wrote:Is this event only on modern-day trees or on prehistoric trees? Like, will trees that aren't found anymore but did exist be on the test, or will only currently living trees be on the tests?

but for good pictures, i would recommend NWF
(i don't think that for forestry, drawings would be helpful...i prefer pictures)

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
I think use 2: one exclusively to study during practice, one to also use at competition.
And try finding previous tests; they can be really helpful.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
I like pictures, too, so I guess I'll use the NWF. Thanks!tuftedtitmouse12 wrote:i think Audubon field guides for informationfossilgirl13 wrote:Does anyone know any good forestry guides? The ones I found at the library weren't very helpful.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
I actually would prefer drawings, simply because photographs can be really messed up, like in the Audubon Guides, where one pinecone might be shown from a very close up angle, and another shows 5 or so pinecones from farther away. A good field guide would need consistency in how it portrays specimens, and this is more easily accomplished with pictures.

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
I think I'm going to get two guides as recommended by Cheesy Pie. Besides NWF, I'm going to get one for supplementary info. Which do you think is better for information, Sibley, or Audobon?

Re: Preliminary:Forestry
audubon
(look at my post before)
and maybe getting info off a trusted website for each species or getting them off an encyclopedia would be good
