The Birds of Indiana is a treasure-trove for ornithologists, casual
birders, and art-lovers everywhere. Drawing on decades of field
work and data collection and featuring the paintings of one of
America's finest bird artists, this classic work is an
introduction, a reference, and most importantly, a natural history
of Indiana's birds, including over 390 species. Authors Russell E.
Mumford and Charles E. Keller provide detailed information on each
species, including the bird's past and current status, the timing
of migrations, the density and location of populations month by
month, and the influence of habitat. Indispensable for the text
alone, the paintings by William Zimmerman, one of America's
greatest bird artists, make the book a collector's item that will
be admired and appreciated for centuries. With a scientist's eye
and a craftsman's skill, Zimmerman brings each of the 165 birds
that nests in the state to life in lavish detail. Readers can
almost feel the feathers-and the life force beneath them-in his
birds. Each intricate painting reveals the plumage (including both
male and female when there are significant differences), the nest
and eggs, background habitat, and in many cases a wildflower or
two. A work of art as well as science, The Birds of Indiana belongs
in any and every collection of bird books. No ornithologist or
casual birder-expert or beginner-in Indiana, the Midwest, or the
eastern United States can afford to be without it.
