Results of the five-year snapshol are fully discussed, with analysis of historical and atlas-period breeding status; description of landscapes and habitats used by each species; landform, vegetation, and other maps; conservation concerns; and a digest of the breeding evidence reported. Introductory chapters describe geography and project methodology. Adding to the appeal are 68 original pen-and-ink bird portraits commissioned especially for this project.
