Using colourful stories and beautiful photographs, the itinerary-formated tours in this guide will teach you where to find North America's birding hotspots. The pages will show you where and when you can find 800-plus of the 912 species officially recorded within the ABA area more efficiently. This guide is an introduction only to the twelve geographical regions you must visit to discover all of the regularly occurring ABA species - the maximum number of species at the minimum number of sites. Redundant regions have been eliminated, areas which do not harbour species that can be seen elsewhere. Unlike other birdfinding guides, this book contains a wealth of logistical information which is required to bird these sites, with accommodations, air services, associations, boats and pelagic trips, books, car rental, and telephone hotlines. A full ABA Checklist compliments the guide. Although written primarily for novices, anyone will find this guide useful.
