Wild Birds Of California

Very good used paperback. Crease to bottom-right corner.

Within California's boundaries over six hundred bird species--about two-thirds of the birds found in North America--may be observed. The state's extensive natural areas, including national parks, national wildlife refuges, national forests, and many other preserves, parks, and wildlife areas protect critical habitats and exuberant concentrations of birds. We can also learn about birds in our own backyards--from a park bench, a walk on the beach, or a hike in the mountains, deserts, or canyons. 

This book celebrates California's tremendous wealth of wild birds and the natural areas that sustain this abundance. A rich diversity of birds--shown throughout the seasons, throughout their life cycles, and in many habitats--is represented here in colorful images by some of the state's best wildlife photographers.
