The Northern Great Plains region hosts one of the most remarkable assortments of bird species on earth. Here the ranges of many birds overlap, offering birders the unique possibility of glimpsing both eastern and western-or northern and southern-species on a single outing. In the spring and fall, vast numbers of migrating birds pass through the Great Plains region on their way to summer nesting grounds and winter residences. With the highest elevations between the Rockies and the Alps, the Black Hills provide an island of evergreen mountains amidst the surrounding prairies and badlands, and are home to birds found nowhere else in vicinity. This book covers North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska along with eastern Montana, eastern Wyoming, northwestern Colorado, and the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With 255 beautiful color photographs, the book profiles seventy-seven of the bird species that birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts are most likely to see, along with pictures of similar species and tips for distinguishing them in the field. 256 pp. Paperback. $22.00 323.

National Geographic Society, 2007. Intended for beginning to intermediate birders, this book teaches readers how to begin and improve their birding: what to look and listen for and how to make sense of what they see and hear. A unique visual component shows actual field guide pages and how to read them, while another compares the same bird in photography versus artwork and explains how to use both for species identification. National Geographic's quality photography is a major highlight of the book, supplemented by pencil drawings and full-color maps to give birders a full range of visual information.
