This book just has black and white sketches but it lists trees and wildflowers and animals etc of the Poconos.
The title is The Poconos - An illustrated Natural History Guide by Carl S Oplinger and Robert Halma
I bought it at the Barnes and Nobles in Wilkes Barre. They have a really good section on PA and the Poconos.
