Identifying more than 250 top sites for birding within a 65-mile
radius from downtown Chicago, this useful guide provides maps,
directions, and other information essential for discovering the
birds of the area in their natural habitats. The most thorough
guide of its kind, it covers nineteen counties of the greater
Chicago area.
A Birder's Guide to the Chicago Region includes detailed
descriptions of local habitats and maps that show where to find
birds in nearby Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan, as well as
Illinois. Here readers can discover little-known sites where
unusual species may congregate, in addition to reliable favorite
spots, such as Chicago's "magic hedge". Equally valuable are the
suggestions for locating birds during each month of the year and a
checklist of the species that can be found near Chicago.
While providing a wealth of practical information, A Birder's
Guide to the Chicago Region is also enriched with insightful
accounts of the natural history and ecology of particular areas. We
learn about the rote of geology and the region's rivers -- such as
the Calumet, the Des Plaines, the Illinois, and the Fox -- in
creating a natural environment that attracts various species of
wildlife and birds. Descriptions of the nature centers in the area
will enhance readers' appreciation of their environment.
An essential guide for either beginning or experienced birders,
A Birder's Guide to the Chicago Region will appeal to anyone who
appreciates nature and wants to learn more about the natural
history, ecology, and especially the birds of the Chicago area.
