A Useful Book
Each species account consists of a black and white illustration, discussion of the species' present and historical distribution in Tennessee, and its breeding biology. There are also distribution maps for each species and abundance maps for most. The author provides numerous references within the body of the species accounts.

The Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee is one of a number of similar state-wide bird distribution atlases. While the methodology varies between the various atlases, they are still generally quite useful in providing a snapshot of the distribution of birds at the present time. This Tennessee atlas also gathers together valuable information on the historical distribution of the birds and their breeding biology. It will be quite valuable to ornithologists and wildlife biologists in Tennessee and the surrounding area, both for the distribution information and for the extensive references. Amateur naturalists, also, will find it useful as a supplement to field guides and other identification tools, since it covers the distribution of Tennessee birds in great detail and also provides more information on the breeding biology of the birds than are generally found in field guides and other resources. The language is non-technical. ... Read more

Product Description
This companion volume to The Atlas of Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland is derived from yearly surveys of breeding birds in Britain and Ireland during 1968-72, organised by the British Trust for Ornithology and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy. Each of the 3,862 10-km squares of Britain and Ireland was visited during the five years and the resulting records (over 285,000) are summarised in the maps.
The full-page maps plot the known distribution of all but 11 of the 229 breeding species located during the survey period. Each map has an accompanying text which describes the species' habitat, the problems involved in proving breeding, the historical background to the species' range and any changes in its numbers. The probably reasons for these changes are discussed and an attempt made to assess the total number of birds for each species. ... Read more

Product Description
The EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds presents, for the very first time, an integrated picture of the distribution and abundance of the breeding birds of Europe. The book compiles and organizes bird survey data from all of Europe, bringing together a team of 450 authors from 38 countries, with an inventive team of artists providing lively illustrations of the various bird species. Over 100 regional and national atlases have been produced, surveying areas from such obscure regions as Madeira, the Azores, Iceland, Svalbard, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land and Transcaucasia--even parts of Russia and the Ukraine!
