Mississippi Birds by James Kavanagh
Mississippi has a moist, temperate climate and a tremendous diversity of ecosystems, making it a great place to learn about birds. Among the tallgrass prairies, swamps, oak savannas, sandy beaches, and brackish marshes, over 400 bird species have been found, the vast majority of which are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants. These include such notable species as state birds Northern Mockingbird and Wood Duck. For many people, birds are their entry point into nature study, so it helps to have a starting point based on a solid knowledge of an area's familiar species. The portable reference Mississippi Birds is a great tool for getting acquainted with the most common species, as it has beautiful illustrations of 140 representative 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 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.
