I know of a GREAT resource for nature walks that I highly recommend. Although I haven't purchased it (yet!) I have checked it out from my library & I plan to get it when we can.
It's called:
Handbook of Nature Study
By Anna Botsford Comstock
You are able to read it online for free here:

I did a "review" of it on my blog right here:
