Hidden Neighbors

HIDDEN NEIGHBORS: THE SECRET LIVES OF VERMONT'S WILD MAMMALS offers a comprehensive look at the diverse species inhabiting the Green Mountain State, providing deep insights into their life histories, ecology, and unique adaptations. Unlike birds that announce themselves with song, Vermont's mammals are "quiet neighbors"-masters of shadow and crepuscular movement often hidden from the casual observer. This guide serves as a vital toolkit for reading the landscape, helping readers transform a seemingly silent forest into a vibrant map of tracks, dens, and behavioral clues. Whether you are witnessing a fisher ripple across a stone wall or a red fox pounce in a snow-covered meadow, this book bridges the gap between the elusive nature of these animals and the profound, heart-pounding reward of discovering their secret lives.
