"In addition to the 50 locations, with directions and suggestions for all levels of photo enthusiasts, the first 37 pages are one of the best and well written instructions to wildlife photography and the fundamentals of the camera ever published. His coverage of wildlife seasons & migration, how to camouflage, rules and regulations, commercial wildlife site, etiquette, photography basics, preparing for the photo shoot and finally a note of caution set the tone for anyone to set out and photograph the unique wildlife in Arizona. Other pearls of wisdom dubbed “making the photo’ stores and ‘photographic tips’ are throughout the book each brimming with advice, enthusiasm and ideas. These alone is a must read and the 50 locations are where you can put it to good use. With over 220 of his images, this publication is more than a guidebook, it is a photography treasure."

In these 247 pages, author, Bruce D. Taubert (retired from AZG&F) covers not only the wheres you may find the herps, birds, and mammals, but, as stated, the whens and hows as well. Whether you are a veteran or newcomer photographer, this book should have a place in either your photo bag or on your bookshelf. It is a beautiful and much needed book."
