The Pacific Northwest is a shorebird haven. Its temperate protected estuaries provide sustenance for great flocks of shorebirds through the winter, and the wave-washed rocks and sandy coastal beaches are rest stops for hundreds, thousands, even millions of shorebirds moving up and down the Northwest coast, year after year. Shorebirds of the Pacific Northwest embraces an area from southern British Columbia -- from the latitude of the north tip of Vancouver Island -- through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana. Paulson has carefully compiled the latest information about characteristics of sixty-one documented and eighteen potential shorebird species based on exhaustive research of the literature, museum collections, and photographs, as well as his own and Jim Erckman's extensive field experience. This unique reference offers a wealth of information to satisfy the expert as much as to stimulate the intermediate and beginning birder. By helping readers understand the lives of these birds, the authors encourage better management of shorebird habitats. And their book is timely because the estuaries and other wetlands that these beautiful and far-flying birds use are among the most endangered environments of the Northwest.
