Synopsis

A compact, photographic field guide for southeastern Arizona, a birding mecca for rare and vagrant birds from Mexico. Over 410 species, including the Mexican rarities, are described by Rick Taylor, a local expert on the birds of Arizona. Over 600 stunning color photographs, most by regional photographers illustrate the birds. Organized in our best-selling format: Description, Similar Species, Voice, Status, Habitat, Behavior and Noteworthy. The unique ten habitats of southeastern Arizona are described in six pages along with a Habitat Map. Unique color-coded elevation charts make it easy for amateur and expert birdwatchers to know what seasons, elevations and locations are typical for the birds. A Quick Guide to Local Birds, at the front of the book, provides an easy reference to the pages that provide a complete description of the different birds.
