Arizona is considered by many to have the best birding in the country, owing in large part to its over 550 permanent residents, breeders, and annual migrants. From the high-altitude Canadian Zone to the lowland desert scrub to the richly vegetated canyons, educators, learners, naturalists, and birders can explore a rich avifauna that includes over 15 species of hummingbirds and tropical specialities like trogons. This beautifully illustrated collection includes an ecoregion map featuring over 20 bird-finding hotspots. Laminated for durability, this folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for those who want to forge a deeper relationship with the avifauna of Arizona. Made in the USA.
