Booklist Review

An extensive manual for novice and experienced bird finders alike. Departing from the standard species-by-species presentation in favor of documenting expected sightings by season and geographic location, Lotz's effort becomes a worthwhile birding-expedition planner. She considerately notes such things as the best observing locations, most comfortable climates, and possibilities for watching other migrating creatures (e.g., monarch butterflies bound for central Mexico and gray whales off Baja California). Appendixes explain birding lingo and list and advise on birding books, periodicals, societies, tours, accommodations, and other resources. Glossary; to be indexed. --George Hampton
