To help both beginning and advanced birders make the most of their visits to these parks, Roland Wauer has written this finding guide, which introduces the most common birds and the most likely places to see them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with practical advice on getting started in birding-choosing binoculars, bird identification, proper field techniques, etc. Then after a concise discussion of the national parks as \"islands\" of bird habitat, the succeeding chapters fully describe each park, including its plant and animal communities and the facilities and interpretive activities available to visitors. Wauer takes readers on \"walks\" through each park's most popular and accessible places, where he explains the identification and behavior of the birds that visitors are most likely to see. He closes each account with a review of the park's bird life and a list of key species. Pen-and-ink drawings illustrate many of the birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirds-What They Are and How to Find Them \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirding for Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField Techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirding Ethics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParks as Islands \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreats to the Parks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildland Fires and Their Effects on Bird Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Being Done within the Parks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Value of National Parks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Northwestern National Parks \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlympic National Park, Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorth Cascades National Park, Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Rainier National Park, Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrater Lake National Park, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOregon Caves National Monument, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLava Beds National Monument, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLassen Volcanic National Park, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52530888278296,"sku":"9780292791336","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/birds-of-the-northwestern-national-parks-a-birders-perspective-paperback-softback-9780292791336","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
