Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first complete list of the birds of Rhode Island, containing a concise history of ornithological publications about the state and its birds. Despite many temporary visitors, fewer than 200 species have been confirmed to breed in Rhode Island, with over 100 more being either unconfirmed breeders or just transient visitors. The author's aim is to list every species of bird found in the state, providing annotated records of each, along with a hypothetical list of species that may be found but have no current evidence, and an extensive bibliography of Rhode Island ornithology. The author also reviews the state of ornithology in Rhode Island and discusses migration patterns in the region, describing the unique local movements of some of the birds. The book is not limited to seasoned ornithologists; its accessible language makes it valuable for amateur bird watchers, naturalists, and anyone interested in the nature of Rhode Island.
