One of the inevitable parts of our travel kits are field guides. These tiny but not to be ignored pocket books give us quick knowledge about a particular species of plant or an animal that we seem to be interested in. It’s generally used by tourists to identify animals or plants that may look alike but are not closely related.

These small light weight books contain lot of valuable information, photos and maps that can help us lead to our animal or plant we want to reach, their primary habitats, their description, their food habits, migration etc. Just by flipping few pages we can unravel a whole lot of animal secrets we’ve always been dying to find out.

Normally field guides are mostly dealing with plants and animals but other than this there are also field guides who help in identifying rocks, footprints, minerals, clouds, stars and planets and plenty of other things of interest. So if you are a nature lover then filed guides have surely been a trip a part of your trips at some point or the other.

Not only do we find conventional field guides for every particular species of animals but we also have specialized field guides which include guides to habitats like deserts, coastal regions, forests, wetlands, guides to activities like wild life photography, hiking, eco-tourism and guides to conservation, endangered species and threatened communities.

Finding an unknown species name in a field guide does not necessarily mean that every time you’re flipping pages you slog to find the unknown animal or plant’s description. These guides are arranged so methodically that each time we want to get any information we get to the point right away-

According to physical characteristics-
For instance a field guide to trees might group its species according to whether leaves are attached to trees singly, in pairs or in groups.

According to what’s related to what-
For instance bird field guides nearly always group together birds that belong to the same order (duck order, owl order or perching bird order)

It’s totally up to you to choose which order you prefer the most. Generally for amateurs it’s better to go with a field guide according to physical traits and for professionals to choose field guides arranged taxonomically.

Online field guides:
The internet also has available to us a whole new face of field guides at click of a button with high-quality graphics and lot more interactivity compared to the old pocket book version but the only drawback it has is it cannot be carried to the field.

Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Blue Jays tickets sell like hot cakes as the team enjoys mass popularity and has a great fan following. Blue Jays are a professional baseball team and are members of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball American League. Also known as “The Jays”, the name of the team originates from the name of a bird of the same name.

The Uniform colors of the Blue Jays include white, blue, silver, graphite and black and the logo consisted of the Blue Jays emerging out of the J. The teams’ motto is “It’s always game time”.

Origin And History Of The Blue Jays

The team came into existence in the year 1976 and the franchise was owned by Labatt Breweries with the major share and Imperial Trust and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as small holders. The team played its first game on April 7, 1977 against the Chicago White Sox which they won. However the win was the teams’ only success out of the 54 games played in the same year. In 1978 the team improved its performance but remained last with their record of 59-103. In 1980, the team’s original manager Roy Hartsfield was replaced by Bobby Mattick. Under Mattick the team’s performance improved with a 14-win over the previous year.

The team’s performance further improved under the aegis of the team’s new manager Bobby Cox in 1982 and with some of the good players like pitcher Dave Stieb. Jim Clancy and Luis Leal and the outfielder Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield. The team won against the Baltimore Orioles improving their performance in the year 1983. The teams’ performance further improved in 1984 but they still stood a distant second behind Detroit Tigers, the World Series champion.

In 1985 the team won their first championship – The American League East Division title. The years 1986-1988 did not prove to be very fruitful for the team. In 1989, the SkyDome opened in the middle of the season for the team and they played their first game in the newly inaugurated stadium against the Milwaukee Brewers only to lose the same.

Outstanding Performances And Historical Happenings Of Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are the first team to win a World Series in Canada and also the first and only team outside the United States to win the World Series in the year 1992 and 1993. The team was also one of the first Major League Club to draw over 4 million fans in just one season helping push the sale of Blue Jays tickets. The year 1993 saw the team acquire some- the Blue Jays had seven All-Stars: outfielders Devon White and Joe Carter, infielders John Olerud and Roberto Alomar, starting pitcher Pat Hentgen, designated hitter Molitor and closer Duane Ward. The team lost in 1994 despite the huge expectations and dropped to a 55-6 record. In 1995 again the team’s performance dipped adversely affecting the attendance and also the sale of Blue Jays tickets after they lost to Boston Red Fox.

The Blue Jays have had their highs and lows during their professional career. Many times the team has faced attendance problems. However, the team has also witnessed one of the record attendances as well when the Blue Jays tickets have been in huge demand. One can even book Blue Jays tickets online with an authorized ticket broker without having to stand in long queues. What’s more! One can book the tickets anytime, anywhere right from the comfort of one’s home!
