Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The iconic Rocky Mountains are home to hundreds of birds, the majority of which are either regular breeders or annual migrants. Anywhere from the northern reaches of the range in Alaska to its southern reaches in New Mexico is worthy of exploration and bursting with possibilities for discovery. Some of North America’s most iconic and sought-after species live in the Rockies. These include Canada Jay, Clark’s Nutcracker, American Dipper, Willow Ptarmigan, and Yellow-eyed Junco. Given birds’ ubiquity, they are often the entry point into nature study, so many people look to avian life to connect more meaningfully with the land. It helps, then, to have a portable reference to cut through the clutter and focus on the most representative species. You can do this with Rocky Mountain Birds, which is beautifully illustrated with 140 common and familiar species as well as a map showing bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and adventurers who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds’ fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
