Aprašymas

Crater Lake National Park hypnotizes thousands of visitors each year with its stunning vistas, natural beauty, and wildlife, including the extraordinary birds that are found there. In Birds of Crater Lake National Park, Stewart Janes introduces readers to Oregon's high-country birds and those that are most frequently encountered on visits to the park. The high country is a hostile environment; the birds that live there confront challenges--elevation, weather, geology, habitat--that their lowland relatives do not have to endure. Species that inhabit the high country must be adaptable and resourceful.

From the Clark's Nutcracker to the White-crowned Sparrow, the guide provides species accounts of the most characteristic birds found in the park. Accompanied by detailed color photographs, each entry also includes the scientific name, description, and distribution along with a short narrative.

With essays focusing on the history, climate, geology, and geography of the region, this guide offers a strong foundation to greater understanding of the birds of Crater Lake. Plus, chapters like "Birds Beyond Crater Lake National Park" and "Some Places to Bird in Crater Lake National Park," along with a birding checklist, offer invaluable resources to beginner and skilled birders alike.
