 Watchable Birds of the Great Basin

Watchable Birds of the Great Basin. David Lukas, Graham Chisholm (foreword), Brian Small & Don Baccus (photographers).

The stunningly beautiful Great Basin is a popular destination for both birds and birdwatchers. The region's wetlands attract migrating waterfowl numbering in the millions, and the high mountain forests and sagebrush flats ring with birdsongs. Watchable Birds of the Great Basin offers wildlife enthusiasts, families, and birders from novice to expert glimpses into the lives of the area's most watchable birds--from the common and highly visible to the unique and challenging to find.

Presented in three broad habitat groupings--wetlands, deserts, and mountains--the bird profiles begin by describing each species' eye-catching marks. The text continues with fascinating facts about nesting behavior, birdsongs, foods, flight characteristics, and other aspects of a bird's life, as well as when and where to see each species. Find out why hawks spend so much time aloft, where to look for the tropical and leggy black-necked stilt, and how male sage grouse dance and strut their stuff. 174 pages.
