Japan Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781620052761)

Japan's avifauna is uniquely varied, owing to the remarkable mix of ecosystems and altitudes in this East Asian nation that stretches from the subarctic to the subtropics. Astounding migration spectacles throughout the year make for some of the most memorable experiences, as do encounters with iconic specialties like white-eyes, cranes, storks, needletails, and honeyeaters. Because birds are often the entry point into nature study, it is helpful to establish a solid foundation of knowledge about the most familiar species. You can do this with the portable reference Japan Birds, which is beautifully illustrated and features 140 common 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 a terrific primer for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their identification skills and peer more closely into the fascinating lives of Japan's birds. Made in the USA.
