From the author of the excellent A Guide to the Birds of Alaska comes a showcase of 65 of the state's 438 migrating or resident birds. Each of the species profiled - from residents such as the emperor goose - or species every traveller wishes to see like the common loon, or bald eagle - is presented in award winning photographs and receives an in-depth narrative covering behaviour and seasonal adaptation. The book also covers the best places to see each species and tips to aid taking successful photographs.
