Arkansas Birds fills a space too long empty on the shelves of ornithologists and students alike, of naturalists, wildlife and conservation groups, bird and garden club enthusiasts, artists, and those dedicated people who may be all of these. The authors have drawn upon a wide range of sources, from prehistoric Indian sites to present-day field observation, to cover ever species of wild bird recorded in Arkansas. Accounts of such extinct species as the Carolina Parakeet keep us from taking for granted even the Northern Bobwhite and other common modern species. Early chapters introduce the reader to the habitats favored by various species; full descriptions are accompanied by line drawings and color photos. Arkansas Birds serves both as a quick reference and a general historical review. A discussion of the Bald Eagle traces its history from bones found in Indian burials, through Audubon's early observations, to modern population declines and successful observation efforts. This attractive and accessible volume is a guide long-awaited by both the professional student of birds and the amateur with a backyard feeder.--Jacket.

... a monumental effort that the authors can be justly proud of. It belongs on the shelf of any birder in the mid-South, in every library, in the region, and in any serious ornithological library. -- Journal of Field Ornithology

Nebraska has an impressive bird diversity, with over 470 species having been recorded, the majority of which are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants. State bird Western Meadowlark is a stand-out, but perhaps the most phenomenal avian experience to be had in the Cornhusker State is the mass migration of Sandhill Cranes, which congregate by the tens of thousands in one of North America's most stunning migration spectacles. There is much to learn about the cranes and other iconic species like Sharp-tailed Grouse, American White Pelican, and Snow Geese, and it helps to focus on these and other familiar species to establish a foundation of knowledge. A handy tool for this is the portable and beautifully illustrated reference Nebraska Birds, which features 140 common species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds' fascinating lives.
