Tom Seymour encounters scores of animals and birds in Maine's outdoors. Some of them are common enough that any Mainer could identify them: loons, moose, black bears, great blue herons. Others are lesser-known, such as rails, green frogs, cormorants, and more. Seymour treks year-round through the woods and fields of Maine. He's sharing that knowledge in Wild Critters of Maine.

Readers of Wild Critters of Maine will learn from Seymour about much of the wildlife that populates the state of Maine. With the same lively, accessible storytelling as his previous books, including Wild Plants of Maine, Tom Seymour introduces and describes the characteristics of many of Maine's treasured animals.
