"The indispensable guide to birding in the Adirondacks by two of the best birders around. Beautifully designed and illustrated. Bravo!"
-JOHN THAXTON, "Birdwatch" columnist for the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine
The Adirondack Park's lakes, mountains, bogs and forests provide habitat for a diversity of birds, including boreal species (usually associated with Canada) and uncommon migrants and winter visitors. Authors John M.C. Peterson and Gary N. Lee, two of the Park's most skilled birders, drew on decades of experience in selecting more than 60 sites for finding the most-coveted species. Jeff Nadler contributed 46 color photographs of wild birds. The book also contains dozens of black-and-white photos of birds and landscapes. Other features include a history of Adirondack birding, tips on finding boreal species, and an Index of Birds. With maps and detailed directions. |
