The Birds Of Dearborn An Annotated Checklist

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.

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.

The history and restoration of an important watershed

Written by three expert birders, this book is both a finding guide and an annotated checklist of the birds found in Indiana. In Part I, The Haunts, the Kellers present 66 of their favorite Hoosier birding spots—parks, reservoirs, and wildlife refuges, as well as more unexpected and unusual sites. Part II, the Checklist, provides the latest records for northern, central, and southern Indiana for 397 species, from permanent residents to the rarest of strays. The new edition has also been rearranged according to the most recent AOU classification scheme, which will be especially convenient for birders now using the national Geographic filed guide. Birds in Part II are cross-indexed to the haunts in Part I. First published in 1979, the book was acclaimed as "extremely functional," "gracefully written", "excellent for touring birders," and "an uncommonly thorough regional guide."
