Kansas is a bird-watcher's paradise, with its key location at the
hub of the hemisphere's migration corridors and exceptional habitat
diversity; 470 avian species have been documented within its
borders. From spectacularly beautiful birds like Painted Buntings
to elegant migrants like Hudsonian Godwits, birders can find
abundant rewards every time they take to the field.
"The Guide to Kansas Birds and Birding Hot Spots" focuses on 295
species that are most likely to be encountered in the state. It
helps occasional day-trippers or backyard observers identify and
learn about birds that regularly occur in Kansas, with stunning
color photos that enable those new to the hobby to identify their
discoveries, plus tips on where to search for these species with
the greatest likelihood of success.
Gress and Janzen have produced an exceptionally well-organized
guide that divides birds into 18 groups based on similarity in
appearance, habitat, or behavior, following taxonomic order only
partially to make identification easier for the beginner. The entry
for each bird gives its size, identifying features (including
sexual and seasonal distinctions), and where and when it can be
found. And each account includes a brilliant color photo of an
adult of the species, with additional views of selected birds to
illustrate male, female, or juvenile plumages.
The authors point out the best birding locations in the
state-more than two dozen hot spots of which they have intimate
knowledge-that reflect utterly different bird communities thriving
only a few hours apart. They also provide a checklist for all state
birds, a calendar of Kansas bird activity, and recommendations for
binoculars and other field guides.
