For more than two years, a team of Newsday reporters and photographers explored the woods and waters of a world most residents and visitors to Long Island never see. As they waded through bogs, kayaked on rivers, hiked through pathless forests, scoured the Island's grasslands and skies, and ventured into the Atlantic in shark cages, they made surprising discoveries: insect-eating plants, tropical fish, exotic lizards, birds of prey nesting along golf courses, and much more. The result is Newsday's Guide to Long Island's Natural World - a rich and authoritative handbook about the natural environment of Long Island. Through in-depth stories, color photographs, and detailed maps and listings, this book takes readers on a journey through Long Island's bays, beaches, woodlands, fields, and backyards.
