With more than 15,000 interior lakes and bordering both Lake Superior to
the north and Lake Michigan to the east, Wisconsin is famous as a place
to observe waterbirds of all types. It also has expansive forested
areas, plains, and farmlands providing ideal habitats for hummingbirds,
raptors, warblers, sparrows and more. And with nine national wildlife
refuges, two national parks, and more than three million acres of IBAs
(Important Bird Areas), Wisconsin is truly a great state for birds and
birders. Written by expert Wisconsin birder Charles Hagner and filled
with gorgeous color images by Brian E. Small, the American Birding
Association Field Guide to Birds of Wisconsin is the perfect companion
for anyone wanting to learn more about the natural history and diversity
of the state's birds and when and where to see them.
