Ohio was once covered by a thick forest and populated by a great variety of animals. However, the effects of native settlement upon animal species varied widely, and the fortunes of many rose and fell. This is an examination of 200 years of wildlife in Ohio.

This photographic collection explores Lake Erie and its effects on the birds that make this region their home. It observes a year of weather changes and avian migrations - from the wintertime convergence of ducks and othe waterbirds to the raptors and shorebird migrations in the fall.

In succinct, readable prose complemented by stunning historic and contemporary photographs, this updated edition of Cuyahoga Valley National Park Handbook provides a brief but comprehensive history of the park - the people, the land, the ecology, and the politics that led to its creation.
