And if you want it all in one volume, The Audubon Society Field Guide to California, ISBN 0679446788, $19.95. This book covers birds, animals, insects, trees, wildflowers, and a whole lot more.
Thinking about gardening and landscaping, I'd also suggest Sunset's Western Garden Book, ISBN 0376038756, $32.95. It is considered to be the bible of plant growing in the west. It has pertinent information on what deer won't eat and what will grow west of Highway One along with hundreds of interesting features.
