Indiana Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species

By James Kavanagh and Waterford Press

Book Overview

Located along the central flyway, Indiana is a great place to experience the migration of songbirds, waterfowl, shorebird, and raptors. There are also notable breeding species like Red-shouldered Hawk, Prothonotary Warbler, and Bell's Vireo. Over 400 species are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants, and it can be a bit daunting to get to know so many species at the outset. It helps, then, to have a portable reference like Indiana Birds to cut through the clutter and focus on the most familiar species. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their ID skills and peer more closely into the fascinating lives of Indiana's birds. Made in the USA.
