A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated overview to the birds
of Maine The first comprehensive overview of Maine's incredibly
rich birdlife in more than seven decades, Birds of Maine is a
detailed account of all 464 species recorded in the Pine Tree
State. It is also a thoroughly researched, accessible portrait of a
region undergoing rapid changes, with southern birds pushing north,
northern birds expanding south, and once-absent natives like
Atlantic Puffins brought back by innovative conservation techniques
pioneered in Maine. Written by the late Peter Vickery in
cooperation with a team of leading ornithologists, this guide
offers a detailed look at the state's dynamic avifauna-from the
Wild Turkey to the Arctic Tern-with information on migration
patterns and timing, current status and changes in bird abundance
and distribution, and how Maine's geography and shifting climate
mold its birdlife. It delves into the conservation status for
Maine's birds, as well as the state's unusually textured
ornithological history, involving such famous names as John James
Audubon and Theodore Roosevelt, and home-grown experts like
Cordelia Stanwood and Ralph Palmer. Sidebars explore diverse
topics, including the Old Sow whirlpool that draws multitudes of
seabirds and the famed Monhegan Island, a mecca for migrant birds.
Gorgeously illustrated with watercolors by Lars Jonsson and scores
of line drawings by Barry Van Dusen, Birds of Maine is a remarkable
guide that birders will rely on for decades to come. Copublished
with the Nuttall Ornithological Club
