North Dakota is a terrific place to learn about and explore birds. Throughout the Peace Garden State’s many habitats — including tallgrass prairie, mixedgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, lakes, marshes, rivers, and deciduous forests — such sought-after species as Sharp-tailed Grouse, Piping Plover, Sprague’s Pipit, Baird’s Sparrow, and state bird Western Meadowlark can be found. For many people, birds represent the face of a landscape, so it is useful to get acquainted with the most representative species to establish a solid foundation of knowledge on which to build. You can do this with the portable reference North Dakota Birds, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders to use for identifying North Dakota’s birds and getting more familiar with their fascinating life histories.
