Birds of Delaware

• Description

Delaware’ s location in the mid-Atlantic region on the Atlantic flyway, as well as the geologic evolution of Delaware’ s Piedmont and Coastal Plain, have resulted in a great variety of bird life— virtually all species regularly encountered in the East. "Birds of Delaware" is the first comprehensive book on birds in the state, containing accounts of 418 species, and the first state book to integrate breeding bird atlas survey results with all other available information on a state’ s wild birds. Destined to be a definitive reference work for years to come, < I> Birds of Delaware< /I> includes innovative graphic presentations on breeding and seasonal distribution, relative abundance of species, nesting season, and winter population changes. Primarily concerned with species accounts for breeding birds, migrants, and rare visitors.
