Robbins and Easterla offer the most comprehensive treatment of the birds recorded in Missouri since Otto Widmann's landmark publication at the turn of the century. Birds of Missouri couples an exhaustive literature review with much unpublished information to present a historical perspective, as well as an up-to-date assessment of each species recorded in the state.

Birds of Missouri Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds of Missouri: Their Distribution and Abundance (Hardcover)
Excellent source of information. The authors have obviously put an incredible amount of time and effort into research for this book. The writing style follows what I would call a "typical" scientific format: In other words the book is not one for casual reading. The amature as well as professional ornithologist can obtain very precise information about state records for every bird to ever enter (or think about entering) Missouri. This book is definiiely "solid" science with very little, if any, speculation about distrubution or abundance of each species of bird to grace the state with its presence. I feel this book would make a respectable addition to any collection of literature dedicated to ornithology.
