Overview

Rhode Island is located along the Atlantic flyway, making it a top place to witness the migration of waterfowl, shorebirds, and songbirds. The Atlantic coast, with its inlets, bays, and beaches includes bluffs that are great places to observe seabirds offshore. In total, over 440 bird species have been Seen in the Ocean State, and this includes such stand-outs as Piping Plover, Least Tern, Wood Duck, Barred Owl, and Baltimore Oriole. Sifting through such a diverse array of species can be as daunting as it is exciting, so it helps to have a portable reference to cut through the clutter and focus on a smaller number of the most representative birds. You can do this with Rhode Island Birds, which includes beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and 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.
