If you find yourself asking any of these questions then this book is for you... 50 Things to Know about the Birds in Rhode Island by Darryl and Jackie Speicher offers a classical approach to finding the largest variety of birds in the ocean state. Most books on birding tell you to travel to specific locations and hotspots for one or two prize species on your life list. Although there's nothing wrong with that, this book takes another approach. Here we present you with the best birding sites while also helping you to understand which birds can be found in any specific habitat. With this dual approach, we will help you to identify the greatest variety of species in the shortest amount of time. Rhode Island is the ideal state for a birding excursion. In the course of a few hours, you can traverse this entire state and see the sandy coast of the southern shore, the rocky outcroppings of Aquidneck Island, and find a series of warblers in the forests and backyards of the state. Based on knowledge from the world's leading experts, understanding the role of a bird in its habitat helps us to truly appreciate the diversity of birds. There is an intrinsic excitement in bird watching. This comes from the realization that you were able to locate and identify a bird in its habitat, and then take the time to watch its behaviors and connect with nature. This type of excitement is not relegated to someone who travels great distances to see birds, but to anyone who appreciates the birds in their backyard, the local park, or even during a brief shopping trip in town. This book will help you develop a deeper understanding of birds in every season. We will explore the variety of habitats in this small state, and show you how easy it is to find a great variety of warblers, shorebirds, and seabirds in a single day. We will also delve into the importance of wildlife refuges and urban sanctuaries in the preservation of these amazing migratory, overwintering, and breeding species. By the time you finish this book, you will know how exciting birding can be in Rhode Island. So grab YOUR copy today. You'll be glad you did.

Download or read book Birding Oregon written by John Rakestraw and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From sage steppe to mountain forest to the waters of the Pacific Ocean, Oregon's diverse habitats host an equally rich diversity of bird life. BIRDING OREGON guides you to more than 250 of the best birding sites, telling you where to go, when to go, and what you will see when you get there. Whether you are a casual bird watcher or a hard-core lister, this guide will help you make the most of your travels through Oregon. To be included in the book, all of the sites had to meet three criteria. 1. The site must be on public land, or on land accessible to the birding public. Trespassing is not OK, even for birders. 2. The site must be accessible in a normal passenger car. Nothing spoils a birding trip faster than a punctured oil pan or a broken axle. 3. The site must provide consistently good birding, year after year. Good birds can show up anywhere on occasion. But if your time is limited, you want to visit sites that offer the best birding on a regular basis. In addition to the site guides, BIRDING OREGON includes a checklist of 543 species of birds and their seasonal abundance. The Resources section lists contact information for federal and state agencies, conservation and birding organizations, birding trails, and guide services.
