This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.There is no shortage of iconic bird species in Montana, where Western Meadowlark is the state bird and fellow stand-outs like Harlequin Duck, Sprague's Pipit, and Sharp-tailed Grouse can also be found. A mix of mountains, alpine rivers, and sweeping expanses of prairie, the Treasure State is a great place to connect with the land through its avian life. Knowing where to start is a challenge, so it helps to get acquainted with an area's most representative species with a portable reference like Montana Birds. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common and familiar species 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 the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds' fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
