5.0 out of 5 stars THE reference book for birds of the Great Basin, August 17, 2000
This review is from: Birds Of The Great Basin: A Natural History (Max C. Fleishmann Series in Great Basin Natural History) (Paperback)
And, as one of the photographers who did "Watchable Birds of the Great Basin" (also available through Amazon), I should know. Much of my knowledge about the distribution and physiology of Great Basin birds, and of the history of ornithological discovery in the region, comes from this book.

I was a fan years before I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Dewey, high atop the Goshute range on the Utah/Nevada border while volunteering for a raptor banding/migratory count project. In fact, she was largely responsible for encouraging me to pursue publishing my own writing and photography.

So - full circle. This book has given me much over the years, my ace-in-the-hole when answering questions from Elderhostel participants in birding classes taught in the SE Oregon portion of the Basin, and at other times in the field.

So it gives me pleasure to give something back, by recommending this book to those who are interested in the bird life of this region.

And the rest of this series is good, too...

5.0 out of 5 stars The authoritative guide to Great Basin birds, March 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds Of The Great Basin: A Natural History (Max C. Fleishmann Series in Great Basin Natural History) (Paperback)
Part of an outstanding natural history of the Great Basin series published by UNR. All are very good guides for the interested observer, but Ryser's book is the best in the series. It is written with an emphasis on behavior and adaptations to the stresses of living in the arid Basin. Too heavy for the field, and the detailed text does not lend itself to quick searches.
