Arizona Birds: From the Backyard to the Backwoods

Jim Burns

2007

"Arizona is renowned as a premier birding state, a place where many species rarely seen anywhere else in the country reach the northern end of their migratory range. Jim Burns' Arizona Birds is a lively portrayal of the habits and habitats of seventy-five of these unique southwestern species. Burns has written much more than a field guide, site guide, or scientific survey. He has compiled and expanded upon his feature column Arizona Special Species to create an original kind of birding book that is more at home on your bedside table than in your backpack. Bird-watchers new to the game will find a wealth of knowledge on and insight into some familiar favorites, as well as an idea of what it takes to accomplish more uncommon sightings. Veteran birders will appreciate Burns' unique incorporation of natural history and other details beyond the usual taxonomic data, and will enjoy reminders of their own triumphs and heartbreaks in his colorful personal accounts of vehicular breakdowns, photographic faux pas, and egregious identification errors in the field. Illustrated in full color by seventy-five of the author's own outstanding photographs, this book also features a five-level rating system, beginning with birds you can see in your own backyard and ending with those requiring either pure dumb luck or years of study and perseverance to spot."

Condors in Canyon Country: The Return of the California Condor to the Grand Canyon Region

Sophie A.H. Osborn

2007

"The California condor is one of the most majestic birds ever to have graced the skies. In the early 1980s it was a species that was technically extinct - there were only 22 known individuals in the world, all in California. Thanks to an incredible captive-breeding program, their numbers have increased dramatically, and dozens now fly free in the Californian sun. "Condors in Canyon Country" is an intelligent, engaging, and heartfelt story of the groundbreaking fight by scientists and condor enthusiast to save this magnificent creature from extinction. With its stunning full-colour photography of these huge birds flying free once again, this is a must-read for anyone passionate about endangered species and what we must do to save them."

The Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas

Editor: Troy E. Corman, Cathryn Wise-Gervais

2005

"The Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas is the capstone of the first comprehensive statewide survey of Arizona's breeding birds. More than 700 surveyors, mainly volunteers, reported a total of 376 bird species during the 1993-2000 field seasons. Of those species, 283 were confirmed as breeding and 18 additional species were suspected of potentially nesting in the state during the atlas survey period. This atlas provides a breeding distribution snapshot for each of Arizona's nesting bird species at the end of the twentieth century. Bird populations change constantly due to environmental factors and human activities. The data compiled in this book will serve as a baseline against which to judge future changes. It also provides a wealth of natural history information. Each of the 270 two-page species accounts contains a color photo of the species and a range map summarizing the breeding distribution records collected during the atlas survey period. The accompanying descriptive text and graphs provide nesting habitat information and a timeline chronicling each bird's breeding phenology and migratory status in Arizona. Another 47 species are briefly discussed. Additional chapters describe atlas methods, results, and Arizona ornithological history, as well as topography, climate, and habitat diversity, which ultimately govern bird species distribution in the state. Useful to land managers and biologists, the atlas will also be a resource for birders and educators and will increase public awareness of Arizona's vast avian life."

A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona

Richard Cachor Taylor

American Birding Association

2005

"Great year-round birding, grand scenery, and a birdlist that includes some of the most sought-after and beautiful birds in all of North America – these were the inspirations for Jim Lane when he wrote the first Lane Guide in 1965. Three decades later, Richard Cachor Taylor, a near-lifetime resident of Southeastern Arizona, bird-tour guide, and author, completed a totally revised edition of that first guide in the Lane series. And now, Rick has authored a second edition of his essential guide to Southeastern Arizona, which includes: expanded bar graphs, keyed to habitats, with seasonal and abundance information for 514 species; the annotated "specialties" section, a Lane Guide hallmark, provides information on the best places to find over 240 of the most interesting birds of SE Arizona; and maps, directions, and birding tips for the newest birding hotspots, as well as complete updates of the maps from the first edition."

Desert Wetlands

Lucian Niemeyer and Thomas Lowe Fleischner

2005

The Raptors of Arizona

Editor: Richard L. Glinski

1998

"Thousands of birdwatchers come to Arizona each year seeking rare or intriguing species, and for those watching the skies the additional sighting of a bird of prey is a reward in itself. The Grand Canyon state boasts the most dramatic assortment of raptors in North America: hawks, eagles, falcons, kites, and owls, plus vultures and condors. Here can be found nearly all the raptor species of the continental United States and also established populations of species associated with Mexico, such as the Gray Hawk, Common Black-Hawk, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Whiskered Screech-Owl. Arizona's raptors are found in an unrivaled diversity of habitats, from saguaro cactus forests where tiny Elf Owls nest to the Vermilion Cliffs, where the gigantic California Condor was introduced in 1996. Yet many species live in habitats that are now jeopardized by degradation or development, making an understanding and appreciation of raptors crucial to their survival. The Raptors of Arizona brings together the knowledge and insights of 29 raptor and wildlife authorities who provide original information and syntheses on Arizona's 42 raptor species, with an emphasis on aspects of their natural history in Arizona. A chapter on each bird includes its description, a range map, and information on its distribution, habitat, life history, and status. Additional chapters cover conservation, habitats, where and when to watch raptors, and the sport of falconry. The book is enhanced by 42 full-color illustrations by Richard Sloan, one of the premier wildlife artists in North America, whose paintings were commissioned by the Arizona Wildlife Foundation specifically for this project."

Birds of Pine-Oak Woodland in Southern Arizona and Adjacent Mexico

Joe T. Marshall Jr

Cooper Ornithological Society

1957

From the introduction:

"Woodland of mixed pines and oaks is familiar mountain scenery in Mexico, whence it extends into southeastern Arizona along with many kinds of Mexican birds. This woodland occupies a belt from about 5500 to 6500 feet in elevation between encinal (oak woodland) below and ponderosa pine forest above. It combines tree forms of both these zones so as to make a smooth transition between them. The present report compares the numbers of each species of breeding bird in a series of stations, within pine-oak woodland, which were visited in the summers of 1951, 1952, and 1953. These sites extend from the Pinaleno and Santa Catalina mountains in Arizona south into central Sonora and to the Sierra Madre Occidental of northwestern Chihuahua. The stations were selected in relatively flat terrain in well-developed pine-oak woodland where there was water and a good place to camp. The stations differed in the following ways which affected the local occurrence of birds: steepness, whether on a ridge or in a canyon, amount of water and riparian vegetation, stature and spacing of trees, amount of grass, and proximity to coniferous forest."

Arizona and its Bird Life

Herbert Brandt

1951

Among The Birds In The Grand Canyon Country

Florence Merriam Bailey

US Department Of The Interior / National Park Service

US Government Printing Office

1939

From the introduction:

This account of our summer in camps and cabins of the canyon and its immediate vicinity pictures the bird life as I found it grouped at different levels and in desert or forest setting, where observing visitors may duplicate my experiences. At the lowest level, at Phantom Ranch in the Canyon of the Bright Angel, in May, it was a keen pleasure to welcome the incoming birds on their way north. But my stay was short, and it has remained for bird banders and others interested in detailed routes of migration and stops along the way to add to the number of migrants to be found in spring and fall in different parts of the bottom of the canyon. To my account of birds grouped at other levels and under desert or forest conditions students of ecology should add reliable observations that will increase our scant knowledge of the distribution of plant and animal life in relation to their environment, exhibited in this almost unparalleled gash in the earth's surface, where zonal problems - in the compressed vertical section from the bottom of the canyon to the two rims and on to the top of the San Francisco Mountains - have attained their classical illustration. For the growing number of laymen interested in bird banding and in attracting birds about their homes, the success of the canyon feeding and banding stations and the part played in them and at rain tanks in this arid region may suggest interesting problems to be solved. But whatever one's especial or scientific interest may be in the birds of the canyon country, there is much more. In telling the story of our enriching summer, my hope has been not only that old interests be quickened and the pleasures of the way be enhanced but that to those with seeing eyes and listening ears may come the deeper satisfactions underlying bird study in the inspiring setting of the Grand Canyon

Birds Recorded from the Santa Rita Mountains in Southern Arizona

Florence Merriam Bailey

Cooper Ornithological Society

1923

From the introduction:

"The recorded birds from the ranges adjoining the Santa Ritas-the Santa Catalinas and the Huachucas - have long since been published on by Mr. W. E. D. Scott and Mr. H. S. Swarth and others, but comparatively little has been published on the available material from the Santa Rita Mountains which, as Mr. Swarth discovered, have a markedly different set of breeding birds from that of the Huachucas. Work has been done in the Santa Ritas at various times for fifty years, from 1873 to 1923, on both sides of the range, in almost every month of the year, and it has seemed desirable to bring the resultas together, not only for the convenience of students of distribution and migration, but for the benefit of future field students in this interesting Mexican borderland. The warm valleys on the eastern and southern sides of the mountains may add some winter residents to the foothills not found on the northern and western sides; the migrations may at any time and place afford rewarding surprises; and much may be learned by a study of the life histories of the summer residents, especially of some of the many hummingbirds and rare Mexican species straying across the border."

A Distributional List of the Birds of Arizona

Harry S. Swarth

Cooper Ornithological Society

1914

From the introduction:

"The beginning of this list of the birds of Arizona dates back about eleven years, to a time when the author was engaged in field work in that state. A hasty compilation was made of a few local lists, and the manuscript carried in the field as a guide and aid in making observations and collections. This beginning proved an incentive to the gathering of farther data, and shortly after, the opportunity presenting itself for visiting more extensive libraries than had hitherto been available, a careful and systematic search was made through the literature dealing with the ornithology of Arizona. The resulting information was filed away and added to as chance offered, ‘but more pressing work and other interests interfered to prevent the whole from being put into shape for publication. Furthermore it soon became evident that while a fairly long list of species could be compiled as occurring within the state, the published information concerning a large proportion of them was scanty and fragmentary. The writer had hoped to be in a position to continue field work in certain little known sections of the state, where undoubtedly there is much to be added to our knowledge of the birds, but this contingency became more and more improbable, and under the circumstances it seemed advisable to publish the list as it now stands."

Birds of the Huachuca Mountains Arizona

Harry S. Swarth

Cooper Ornithological Society

1904

From the introduction:

"The Huachuca Mountains are a range which have been pretty thoroughly explored by investigators in various branches of natural history, but of which there has been but little published, at least of ornithological interest. A few scattered notes recording the occurrence of various rarities in that region, and some more or less carefully detailed accounts of the breeding habits of the most interesting and conspicuous species of birds inhabiting the mountains are about all that have appeared, but nothing of a general character; and as in the course of several seasons careful work in the mountains many interesting and surprising facts in distribution, migrations, etc., of various species were being continually encountered, which, while they may be familiar to the naturalists who have visited the range, are probably unknown to ornithologists in general, I have been induced to embody the results of nfy labors in the following pages."
