A Must-Have for AZ Birders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Though the text is over 20 years old, this little book is still a highly valued and regulary-opened part of my library. Anyone wanting to be well-informed on the birds of Arizona should have and read this book. The distibutional and subsepecies information is impeccable. Nothing newer has come along to replace it.
