This review is from: Guide to Birds of the Anza-Borrego Desert (Paperback)

The new "Guide to Birds of the Anza-Borrego Desert" by Barbara Massey, et al, is now available for $17.95. A lot of dedication and hard work went into the making of this book, which resulted in an excellent birder's guide. There is a lot of information about the status of birds of Anza-Borrego. There is an extensive species accounts section that lists the abundance and location information of all birds seen in the State Park and gives locations on where the rarities were found. There is a section on Species of Special Interest, a plant list, census and count data, and a table of monthly occurence. The Site Guides are very thorough, giving a short introduction to the site, directions, user tips, trail descriptions and the vegetation to be found there, and tells what birds can be seen in what seasons and their occurence, and gives nesting data. Highly recommended as a great addition to any birding or desert natural history library.
