Pennsylvania Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species
Over 450 species of birds have been observed in Pennsylvania, making the Keystone State a terrific place to experience and learn about birds. Over half of the state is covered in forest, most of it being rich hardwood where Scarlet Tanagers and Wood Thrushes breed in the spring and summer. The stretch of Lake Erie shoreline in the northwest is an important staging area for migratory shorebirds. Hawk Mountain in the Appalachian range is a renowned site for viewing the passage of raptors. Neotropical songbirds like vireos, flycatchers, and warblers migrate through the state in large numbers in the spring and fall. Because birds are the entry point into nature study for many people, it is useful to get acquainted with the most familiar species. You can do this with the portable reference Pennsylvania Birds, which includes beautiful illustrations of 140 common birds 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 a handy resource 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.
