关于此电子书

From beak to tail feathers, the common pheasant is a fascinating animal. This small game prize is a valuable part of its environment. And though it's not native to the United States, the common pheasant, or ring-necked pheasant, is one of the nation's most popular hunting animals. Fittingly, the Fish & Game series is part life science, part sports and recreation. This book explores the common pheasant, including its habitat, appearance, history, seasonal habits, scientific classification, life cycle, predators, and defenses. The book also addresses hunting techniques, proper equipment, safety, health, ethics, and responsibility. Through big, full-color photos and approachable text, readers will get inspired to explore nature, and get to know common pheasants! Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Checkerboard Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
