Overview

Did you know that the turkey vulture has been seen by pilots soaring as high as 20,000 feet? Or that the Greater Roadrunner scoots along on two spindly legs at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour as it chases down rattlesnakes and hummingbirds for food? These and 143 other species of birds found in the U.S. Southwest are featured in this handy field guide. Arizona birding experts Kurt and Cindy Radamaker have co-authored this easy-to-use guide, which features accurate color illustrations of each species along with range maps and text on characteristics and natural history.

Synopsis

Another attractive entry in the Lone Pine Nature series. This attractive paperback by ornithologist Kurt Radamaker and nature writer Gregory Kennedy contains all the series' winning features: full-page, color-illustrated entries for 140-plus birds; range maps; a color-coded quick reference guide; a map of best birding sites; a glossary of terms, a birder's checklist, and multiple indexes; and a handy color-coded guide to bird groups on the back cover. A birder's best friend; a backpack necessity.
