Birds Of Southeast Michigan Dearborn Wayne County

Beginning chronologically where Alice Kelley's noted 1978 work ends, Birds of Southeast Michigan: Dearborn offers an up-to-date look at bird populations for the southeast corner of the state. A compilation of data gathered in the area of the Rouge River Bird Observatory on the University of Michigan-Dearborn campus, this annotated checklist provides records for more than 240 species of resident and migratory birds plus pertinent historical data. Line drawings, charts, graphs, and aerial maps included.

This book provides the most intensive modern study of birds ever compiled for southeastern Michigan. Over 65,000 bird records spanning over 30 years went into this annotated checklist, which provides information on over 250 bird species, including residency status, relative abundance, migration dates, and banding data. Introductory material includes birding locations in Dearborn and on the campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn with maps. Much of the data is applicable to the entire metropolitan Detroit region.
