A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona (ABA Birdfinding Guide) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

About the Author Hiking up to 500 miles each summer for eight years while conducting research on the Elegant Trogon, Richard Cachor Taylor developed an intimate knowledge of the birds, habitats, and locations throughout Southeastern Arizona. In 1977 he reported the first Eared Trogon seen in the United States. Inevitably, his interest in trogon ecology led him south into Mexico and Central America, where he soon discovered the magic of other tropical birds. In 1980 Rick founded Borderland Tours. Responsible ecotourism, he believes, provides an economic incentive for the preservation of plant and wildlife communities throughout the world. Aside from leading tours to locations from Alaska to South America every year, Rick has authored location checklists for finding birds in Arizona’s Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains. His most recent books include Trogans of the Arizona Borderlands, published in 1994, and the first edition of his A Birder’s Guide to Southeastern Arizona, published in 1995.
