Is this a field guide?
5. Dezember 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
No, it's not and it's not supposed to be. It's a desk reference. It gives status and distribution details for the 483 species documented in Washington. Extensive data on occurrence including noteworthy records are provided for all species. Most accounts also include phenology bar graphs (sometimes broken down regionally) and a distribution map. Distribution maps show breeding, and non-breeding ranges. Some accounts also include brief habitat descriptions and additional remarks on identification, ecology and historical changes in status.
Ahead of the species accounts are several sections detailing how the book is laid out, discussions on habitat, avian conservation and "the evolution of field ornithology in Washington".
There is no doubt that wildlife specialists will find this reference useful for quick and authoritative information on what species occur and where. It is unfortunately rather skimpy on the kind ecological details that connect bird species firmly to niches within habitats. The habitat details that are provided are inconsistently applied and usually limited to generalized ecotypes and brief descriptions of nest sites. Those charged with making resource management decisions that depend on more detailed information regarding ecological requirements will be obliged to look elsewhere. Obviously, content choices were made to keep the size and cost of the book within reason, but I would have preferred less discussion on how firm the status of the species is county by county and more discussion on what attracts a bird to a habitat and how it interacts with its environment. County status is a geopolitical constraint that has almost nothing to do with bird distribution.
Avocational naturewatchers may find the county by county detail of the range maps and phenology bar graphs useful, but the minutia on occurrences will probably not be of much use to birders.
