Wetlands are home to the greatest diversity of bird species in North America. In this comprehensive guide, photographer and naturalist Scott Leslie covers more than 70 varieties, including waterfowl, birds of prey, diving birds and perching birds. Each entry provides a complete profile of a species, including appearance; behavior; food; distribution and migration; related species; habitat; calls and sounds; family life; conservation concerns; and a range map. In this beautiful and accurate resource for birders and naturalists, North America's most easily accessible bird-rich wetlands are revealed as some of the most fascinating natural areas on the continent - many of which are within surprisingly easy reach of cities and towns.
