Synopsis

With almost half the state covered in forest and myriad lakes and other wetlands dotting the landscape, Wisconsin is home to a rich assortment of birds. State bird American Robin can be found almost anywhere. The hardwood forests host numerous breeding wood-warblers, flycatchers, and thrushes. Boreal forests are the realm of such northern specialties as Black-backed Woodpecker and Canada Jay. Waterfowl and shorebirds congregate en masse along lakes shores and in marshes. You can learn a lot about a landscape by studying its bird life, and it helps to start by getting acquainted with the most representative species. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Wisconsin Birds, which features 140 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. Made in the USA.
