Produktbeschreibung

Songbirds of the West includes more than four dozen songbirds that occur within the western United States. The majority are found in America's western National Parks, especially in parks where the author worked for more than a quarter of a century. Big Bend National Park is where he encountered Black-capped and Gray Vireos, Vermilion Flycatchers, Curve-billed and Crissal Thrashers, Hepatic and Summer Tanagers, and Black-vented, Hooded and Scott's Orioles. Black-billed Magpies were encountered at Great Sand Dunes, Clark's Nutcrackers at Crater Lake, Cave Swallows at Carlsbad Caverns, Cactus Wrens at Saguaro, Phainopeplas at Organ Pipe, Steller's and Gray Jays at Yellowstone, Black-throated Gray Warblers at Mesa Verde, Townsend's Solitaires at Timpanogos Cave, and Canyon and Rock Wrens at Zion. Great Kiskadees, Green Jays, and Altamira Orioles were encountered in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The discussion of each bird is based on the author's personal encounters. These range from casual observations to scientific studies which were undertaken in both the U.S. and Mexico; still others involved visits to the West Indies. The bird's life history, behavior and status are included.

Autorenporträt

Roland H. Wauer retired from the National Park Service after a 32-year career. He worked in six national parks, the Southwest Region Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as Regional Chief Scientist, and Chief of Resource Management in Washington, D.C. He is the author of 32 books on wildlife and the national parks and one novel: "Natural Inclinations: One Man's Adventure into the Natural World." His love of nature has taken him to every state in Mexico, including the Yucatan, where he discovered an additional interest in the Mayan ruins. That interest in archeology propelled him to visit many of the ruins in Mexico, Tikal in Guatemala, and the Aztec ruins of Tenochtitlan. He lived in Bryan, Texas.
