"Florida's Birds is for anyone who wants to identify the state's rich and varied bird life. More than 325 species are included-all the commonly seen birds, both residents and migrants, as well as some exotic and rare birds. New softcover edition provides updated information including websites and contact information for agencies and organizations that deal with birds. (Hardcover available in previous printing.) Florida's unique habitats are described and illustrated with color photographs. Each species account notes the habitats, distinguishing marks, behavior, food, and breeding habits. A calendar grid for each bird notes what months it is in the state as well as when it is likely to be breeding here. Wide in scope and comprehensive in coverage, this handbook also covers exotic species, endangered species, conservation, bird study, attracting and feeding birds, and caring for injured birds."
Short listed for the Green Earth book award In early April, as Owen and his sister search the hickories, oaks, and dogwoods for returning birds, a huge group of birds leaves the misty mountain slopes of the Yucatan peninsula for the 600-mile flight across the Gulf of Mexico to their summer nesting grounds. One of them is a Cerulean warbler. He will lose more than half his body weight even if the journey goes well. Aloft over the vast ocean, the birds encourage each other with squeaky chirps that say, “We are still alive. We can do this.” Owen’s family watches televised reports of a great storm over the Gulf of Mexico, fearing what it may mean for migrating songbirds. In alternating spreads, we wait and hope with Owen, then struggle through the storm with the warbler. This moving story with its hopeful ending appeals to us to preserve the things we love. The backmatter includes a North American bird migration map, birding information for kids, and guidance for how native plantings can transform yards into bird and wildlife habitat.
Two of Cheyenne, Wyoming's well-known birdwatchers have collaborated on this celebration of 104 of the Capitol City's most-likely-to-be-seen birds. Photographer Pete Arnold, often found birding local hotspots camera at the ready, shares his art. Author Barb Gorges, bird columnist for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle for 20 years, shares insights into avian residents and visitors.Each of Pete Arnold's 6 by 6-inch bird photos is accompanied by 80-100 words by Barb Gorges about the species. She gives the reader a general impression of the bird from her experience birding Cheyenne for 30 years, plus interesting tidbits about behavior that might be observed in the month the bird is featured.Included is a checklist of all 326 bird species that may be seen in the Cheyenne area with information about what time of year and how easily they may be seen. There's also a list of birdwatching resources and the American Birding Association's Code of Birding Ethics.In the introduction Barb Gorges explains the genesis of the book as "Bird of the Week" blurbs for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and thanks birding mentors and contributors to the book in the Acknowledgements. In "A Word from the Photographer," Pete Arnold writes about his fascination with photography and birds. Book designer Chris Hoffmeister, Western Sky Design, introduces each month with a chapter title page featuring a patchwork of closeups of the featured birds. While the book is not intended as a field guide, scanning these pages may help with quicker bird identification.
All manner of information about birds is presented. Following each lengthy description are full-color plates of typical members of each species with range-pattern maps for each family's genus and species.
This edition has 65 new images, making a total of 500. The original configurations were altered so that there is only one species per plate. The text is a revision of the Ornithological Biography, rearranged according to Audubon's Synopsis of the Birds of North America (1839).
