With some of the most iconic landscapes in North America, Wyoming is a mecca for birds. The Great Plains in the eastern part of the Cowboy State host waterfowl that visit lakes and other wetlands. Thick-billed Longspurs, Greater Sage-Grouse, and state bird Western Meadowlark occupy the grasslands of the east. To the west where world-renowned national parks Yellowstone and Grand Teton lie, you can find more northerly species like Canada Jay and Dusky Grouse. Well over 400 birds have been observed in Yellowstone, and it can be challenging to sift through such an extensive species list. It helps, then, to focus on a smaller group of representative species to establish a solid foundation of knowledge on which to build. You can do this with the portable and beautifully illustrated Wyoming Birds, which features 140 species 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 a terrific resource 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.
