The lakes, rivers, and marshes of Arizona are among the natural features of the state most cherished by residents and visitors -- and most vital to the migratory birds that frequent them. This book offers hunters and birders an understanding of the character, distribution, and requirements of Arizona's wetland resources and the variety of waterfowl that inhabit them. Sections on the variety of the state's environmental settings, waterfowl biology, and waterfowl management precede narrative accounts of more than 30 species of swans, geese, and ducks in the state. Morehouse's outstanding drawings and paintings accurately depict plumages seen when the birds are in Arizona.
