Download or read book The Birds of Sonora written by Stephen Mims Russell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1998-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birders who come to the American Southwest often keep an eye out for Mexican species that stray across the border. Many neotropical migrants of western North America winter in Sonora, and a host of hummingbirds make their home south of the border as well. This eagerly awaited volume by two respected authorities covers more than 500 species of birds and contains a vast amount of information not available elsewhere. The Birds of Sonora describes all the species known from that state and includes information on distribution, seasonal patterns of occurrence, abundance, and habitats. The first book of its kind in more than half a century to treat birds of this Mexican state immediately south of Arizona, it also contains details of nesting activity for breeding species, provides insight into factors influencing distribution, and notes historical changes in status. Each account is accompanied by a range map depicting the bird's range in Sonora—valuable information not available from any other source and useful to anyone interested in the distribution and ecology of North American birds. Drawings by internationally known wildlife artist Ray Harm enhance many of the entries. Because other books on Mexican birds don't treat Sonora in detail, The Birds of Sonora is an indispensable resource for birders, and its background descriptions of Sonoran geography, climate, and habitats also make it a key reference for conservation and land use planning. A useful companion to field guides, it is a narrative account that puts readers in touch with birds of this important biogeographic area.

Download or read book Field Book of Birds of the Southwestern United States Classic Reprint written by Luther E. Wyman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Book of Birds of the Southwestern United States To meet a long-existing demand for a guide that in concise and convenient form will enable students to identify in the field birds of southern California and Arizona, the Birds of the Southwest ern United States is herewith presented. The territory considered includes all of Arizona, and that part of Nevada and California lying south of a line drawn from extreme northwestern Arizona, west and south through the mountain bar rier fringing the southern end of the great central valley of California, to the ocean. This area possesses the most varied and interesting avifauna of any part of North America. Of the four North American Swifts, the three exclusively western forms occur within our limits. Ranging from lowest deserts to highest mountains are found eleven species of Hummingbirds, as compared with only one east of the Mississippi; while five species of Quail contrast with the one of the eastern United States. In southern California is Mount San Jacinto, noted in biological reports, where proximity of high mountain and below-sea-level desert has produced a remarkable concentration of Life Zones, each with its characteristic species. Arizona attracts world-wide travel with its Grand Canyon drop ping from a plateau of 6000 feet elevation to the narrow river gorge a mile below. Here in a day's trip we find birds and plants of three Life Zones corresponding to the 1000 miles of latitude between Mexico and Canada; while near by are the San Francisco Peaks, rising to nearly feet, and carrying the Life Zones up through the Boreal, the whole equivalent to a northward advance to Arctic shores.

Download or read book Early Southwest Ornithologists 1528 1900 written by Dan Fischer and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its colorful landscape and wonderful diversity of plant and animal communities, the southwestern borderlands have attracted naturalists for centuries. As Col. Thomas Henry noted in 1853, there “are to be found many curious birds, peculiar to the country.” This book identifies more than 100 early ornithologists and explorers who entered the Southwest from 1528 to 1900, all of whom have contributed in significant ways to our understanding of the region’s avian life. Dan Fischer identifies those individuals who documented the natural history of the Southwest and summarizes their contributions to our knowledge about the region’s birds—particularly through discovering and naming them. He tells why the ornithologists came to the region, what they saw, who described and named the new discoveries, and who were the first to sketch or paint new birds. Beginning with accounts of the earliest Spanish explorers such as Cabeza de Vaca and Coronado, Fischer considers all who visited the region through the end of the nineteenth century, including such renowned naturalists as William Gambel, John McCown, Adolphus Heermann, Elliott Coues, Charles Bendire, and Henry Henshaw. In between, he recalls English mining speculators, French traders, army explorers, railroad surveyors, and more—all of whom contributed to ornithological knowledge. Although focusing on ornithologists, Fischer’s text reveals the wonderful variety of avian species in the region and their relationship with human history. Featuring a comprehensive bibliography, illustrations, and maps that portray the westward march of exploration, it is a major sourcebook for southwestern ornithology and an essential volume for anyone interested in birds.
