A Birder's Guide to Alaska American Birding Association Birdfinding Guide George C. West
This comprehensive guide gives you the detailed information you need to find the Great Land's great birds. Over 60 locations are covered, including the entire road system, the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system, and the Alaska Highway from British Columbia to Alaska. Special attention is given to providing birding information and trips for the larger communities--Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau--in addition to visiting Alaska's most popular tourist destinations, including Denali National Park, the Inside Passage, Kenai Peninsula, Nome, and Barrow. Extraordinarily productive, off-the-tourist-track birding sites are detailed as well, including Gambell on Saint Lawrence Island, the Pribilof Islands, Cordova, Kotzebue, the Denali and Dalton highways, Seward and Resurrection Bay, Homer and Kachemak Bay, the Homer-Kodiak-Dutch Harbor ferry, Kodiak, Hyder, and many more. Year-round birding information is included for most locations. Each chapter includes a section on local logistics relevant for birders, with more trip-planning help available in the comprehensive, informative introduction.
