    Another post of yours I should probably print and save. I also downloaded the free version of the Handbook of Nature Study.

    Unfortunately, it didn't really help here in Korea, so I'm saving it for when we go back to the U.S.

    Meanwhile, identifying Korean trees, shrubs, and critters is very hit-or-miss, as the library doesn't have ANYTHING on nature here!

    We've found the Ginko trees, Golden Sorceress spiders, and mockingbirds... And that's about it. LOL

    I'm crossing my fingers for Alaska next!!!
