From the tiny rufous hummingbird to the majestic bald eagle,
Colorado is home to more than 496 types of birds, making it one of
the finest birding destinations in the world. Preserved habitats
created by local, state, and national authorities have helped
foster and protect nesting sites for hundreds of species, 235 of
which are featured in their natural habitats, from Great Plains to
Rocky Mountains, in this ornithological guide. The birds are
organized by type from waterfowl to finches and appear in beautiful
color photographs accompanied by clear and concise introductions,
identification tips, and habitat and birdsong descriptions. The
book also includes a complete state bird checklist and a directory
of birding destinations, making this field guide the perfect
companion for anyone interested in learning more about the natural
history of Colorado and the diversity of the state’s birds and
where to see them.
This pocket-sized guide features over 550 stunniing color
photographs of the birds of Southern California along with their
descriptions, voice, behavior, and where and when to find each
species. Local bird habitats are described as well as the basics of
observing and identifying birds.
Combining informative and accessible text, up-to-date maps,
and--above all--stunning color photographs, this is the best and
most lavishly illustrated photographic guide to the birds of
eastern North America. All of the images have been carefully
selected to convey both the sheer beauty and the key identification
features of each bird, and many of the photos are larger than those
found in other guides. Wherever possible, a variety of plumages are
pictured, providing visual coverage and usefulness matching any
artwork-illustrated field guide. And many of the images are
state-of-the-art digital photographs by Brian Small, one of North
America's finest bird photographers. These pictures, many seen here
for the first time, reproduce a previously unimaginable level of
detail. Finally, the ranges of nearly all species are shown on maps
from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, the authority on North
American birding. New and experienced birders alike will find this
guide indispensable: the clear layout will help novices easily
identify the birds they see, while the superb photographs will help
seasoned birders confirm identifications. * The best, most lavishly
