National Geographic Field Guide to Birds: Washington & Oregon (National Geographic Field Guide to Birds)by National Geographic
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Featuring as many as 175 birds apiece and nearly 300 photographs, illustrations and maps, this handy, informative book adds two Pacific Northwestern states to National Geographic's growing series of field guides. Like its predecessors, this guide provides birders with quick and easy access to the kind of specific facts and savvy advice that they need: a regional map of birding hotspots; a knowledgeable introduction by a local expert on which birds to look for, where to find them, and what to focus on when they appear; a section on birding basics, field identification, and how to make the best use of the guide and its resources; scores of individual entries with photographs of each bird, recognition tips, and notes on behavior, habitat, and particular sites; and two indexes: one color-coded, the other alphabetical with life list boxes. An ideal solution for visitors looking to make the most of limited time and a valuable reference for anyone who lives in the region, these books belong in every birder's library, beginner and veteran alike.
Washington and Oregon: a diverse mix of coastal, mountain, forest, and plains species make the Northwest a birder's paradise whose avian highlights include the elusive Blue Grouse, the colorful, shore-dwelling Rhinoceros Auklet, the dramatic and powerful Canada Goose, and the Tufted Puffin, among many others. Book News Annotation:The Pacific Northwest is a birder's paradise. A field ornithologist whose art appears in other National Geographic (and American Bird Conservancy) guides offers field notes and identification tips for some 175 birds. This true pocket guide includes major birding site and range maps, and a bird-by-color index. Photographed in their natural habitat, birds are listed in order by their families.
