Product Description
Based on years of practical experience and research, and informed by the California Center for Wildlife's commitment to humane treatment of animals, Living with Wildlife traces the evolution of attitudes toward wildlife and provides sensible guidelines for co-existing with animals encountered around the home and in wild areas. It is both a comprehensive reference to common North American wildlife and a guide to resolving - in the most humane ways possible - common conflicts that arise from human-wildlife contact. Included are invaluable tips on what to do when:
You head up to the attic to investigate strange noises, and find that a family of raccoons has taken up residence there
Your prized rosebush is suffering from nightly "pruning" by deer
Your child rushes into the house holding a fledgling bird found on the lawn after it apparently fell from its nest
You find, upon returning from a day hike while camping in bear country, that your food supplies have been raided and are scattered all over the campsite
Throughout, the book encourages humans to share their habitat and suggests ways to make residential environments more hospitable to wildlife.

 An old standby still has something to offer but shows its age October 2, 2008
This landmark of its genre is still a good reference work but some elements are now out-of-date. The book covers a very broad range of species; both common familiar critters and animals only seen in limited ranges or infrequently where they do occur. It clearly shows its roots in wildlife rehabilitation in its treatment of this subject and of rehabilitators' particular concerns. However, it is written for the general lay reader and as a reference for people working with the public on wildlife concerns; not specifically to educate rehabilitators. There are more current books on this topic and books more focused specifically on rehabilitation. It may still be a useful work, especially for its broad coverage for non-specialists. But newer books and web published material from authoritative sources now fills much of that demand with more recent information.
 excellent reference for wildlife care July 26, 1998

I am a licensed rehabilitator and I wouldn't be without this book. The in-depth information on most all North American wildlife is truly valuable for all purposes, whether one is a rehabilitator or a homeowner trying to keep lids on garbage cans.
