The first book of its kind to be published for the Bluegrass State,
The Birds of Kentucky is designed to provide an accurate and
scientifically rigorous description of all the species of birds
found in Kentucky. This comprehensive guide features a wealth of
information, including abundance records, migration dates, and
additional reference material, and indicates whether a bird is a
permanent resident, winter resident, summer resident, visitant, or
transient. Additionally, Monroe reviews the history of
ornithologists who have worked in Kentucky and outlines the
physiography of the state as it relates to birding. More than just
a verbal portrait of Kentucky avifauna, The Birds of Kentucky
includes fifty-one color paintings by the renowned wildlife artist
William Zimmerman, whose work has been favorably compared to that
of John James Audubon. In contrast to Audubon's romanticism and
often tortuous style, however, Zimmerman offers us "comfortable"
birds that look as if they are about to take wing and leave the
page. Beautifully illustrated and based on a lifetime of field
observation and research, this book provides an excellent guide to
the natural history of the birds of the Bluegrass.
