This book is by far the best resource for birding in Alaska. It is a must have for any Birdwatcher going to Alaska. The location coverage is very thorough and all the hotspots like Nome, Barrow and the Kenai Peninsula are covered in great depth. If you are familiar with the ABA or Lane Birdingwatching Guide Series, this book lives up to the legacy and is as good or better than any book in the series (which says a lot.)
Buy this well in advance of your trip. There is a lot of information to process and the hours on the plane will not do it.
There is some species by species information, but this is mostly a bird finding guide. If you are a birder headed for Alaska, be sure to get this book, but also make sure you have a good Field Guide. Personally, I recommend the Sibley Western Guide. |
