Utah Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species

By James Kavanagh and Waterford Press

Book Overview

Utah boasts a bird list of over 470 species, the majority of which are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants. Across the Beehive State's three main regions -- Rocky Mountains, Colorado Plateau, and Great Salt Lake and desert -- are some renowned national parks where such iconic species as Dusky Grouse, Bald Eagle, White-faced Ibis, Canada Jay, and state bird California Gull can be observed. The Great Salt Lake is especially rich in waterfowl and wading birds. For many people, birds represent the entry point into nature study, so it helps to have a portable reference on hand for getting acquainted with the most familiar species. You can do this with the beautifully illustrated Utah Birds, which 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 perfect resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds' fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
