Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Atlas Editor Hugh Kingery directed the Colorado Atlas project from its inception in 1987. His editing endeavors have ranged from a boy scout newsletter to the Journal of the Colorado Field Ornithologists to "Trail and Timberline," magazine of the Colorado Mountain Club. (He also wrote a book on the club's history.) Over the years the Mountain Club, Denver Audubon Society, and the Denver Field Ornithologists each elected him as president. "American Birds" carried his byline as Regional Editor for the Mountain West from 1972 to 1996. For the American Ornithologist's Union's "Birds of North America" he wrote the monograph on American Dipper.
