Overview

One of North America’s great watersheds and a true marvel of nature, the Great Lakes Basin is also home to an impressive assemblage of bird life with over 450 permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants. On an almost continuous basis throughout the year, large congregations of birds can be found in phenomenal spectacles. These include endless rafts of waterfowl, waves of songbirds, big flights of raptors, and groundings of shorebirds. While exciting, it’s all a lot to process, so it helps to have a portable reference to cut through the clutter and help you learn the most familiar species. The beautifully illustrated collectionGreat Lakes Birds features 140 common species and includes an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel pocket folding guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to forge a deeper and more meaningful connection with the Great Lakes Basin through its attendant bird life. Made in the USA.
