Website Review: The Metropolitan Field Guide

Subtitled as "ideas and resources for the design of urban wildlife habitat," this thoughtful website takes a comprehensive look at urban ecology. The Metropolitan Field Guide is a delightful potpourri of nature observations, plant profiles, book reviews, wildlife topics, and a host of resources. Kelly Brenner, the website's author, has a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture and has an avid interest in urban wildlife habitat. While centered in the Pacific Northwest, the site does a good job of including universal urban topics and ecology.  The photographs and poetry pieces are a nice touch.
