Inhaltsangabe

Southeastern Arizona is one of the most exciting regions for birding in North America. More than 400 species occur here annually, and 514 species have been recorded. That is more kinds of birds than any other landbounded area of comparable size in the United States. In fact, only Texas, California, and Florida have state lists that exceed the total list for the 15,000-square-mile area encompassed by Southeastern Arizona. Of these birds, 36 species are not regular anywhere else in the U.S., and another 40-plus are confined to the zone along the U.S. border with Mexico.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

About the Author Hiking up to 500 miles each summer for eight years while conducting research on the Elegant Trogon, Richard Cachor Taylor developed an intimate knowledge of the birds, habitats, and locations throughout Southeastern Arizona. In 1977 he reported the first Eared Trogon seen in the United States. Inevitably, his interest in trogon ecology led him south into Mexico and Central America, where he soon discovered the magic of other tropical birds. In 1980 Rick founded Borderland Tours. Responsible ecotourism, he believes, provides an economic incentive for the preservation of plant and wildlife communities throughout the world. Aside from leading tours to locations from Alaska to South America every year, Rick has authored location checklists for finding birds in Arizona’s Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains. His most recent books include Trogans of the Arizona Borderlands, published in 1994, and the first edition of his A Birder’s Guide to Southeastern Arizona, published in 1995.
