Synopsis

A reference that locates and profiles all 203 species of birds that are known to have nested in Pennsylvania. The atlas is the result of a statewide survey conducted from 1983 to 1989 by more than 2000 volunteer birders. Large easy-to-read maps form the core of the atlas. The maps are supplemented by a tabular summary of the results of the survey and, where sufficient data exists, a graph that shows population trends from 1966 to 1987. Seven acetate overlays showing the state's ecozones, elevations, mean temperatures, precipitation, forest types, land cover and river systems accompany the maps. A species account that describes historical changes in populations, habitat requirements and nesting biology faces each map page and summarizes and analyzes the survey results. The illustrations accompanying each account frequently depict one of the nesting behaviours associated with the species.
