What is it?
"Maricopa County, Arizona, birders have compiled this guide for visitors and
residents alike. The species accounts and bar graphs can aid birders in
determining status, abundance, seasonal occurrence, and habitat preference for
over 400 species that
have been recorded in the County. Descriptions and maps of 29 Birding Areas
direct birders to birding spots in and around Phoenix. A Birding Calendar tells
birders what birds to look for and the best places to go each month."
"A History section discusses changes in the status of birds and their
habitats in the County over the past 50-100 years. The Suggested Reading pages
provide a list of field guides and field identification articles to further
enhance the birder's experience in the County and State. Twenty-four photos
document some of the rare and unusual birds that have been found in Maricopa
County."
