Birds of the Lake Erie Region

"This latest collaboration of Carolyn V. Platt and Gary Meszaros is a beautifully photographed book that explores Lake Erie and its effects on the birds that make this region their home. With its moderating weather, this Great Lake allows the Eastern Deciduous Forest to expand much farther north than it otherwise would, thereby providing a remarkably consistent natural setting for both resident and migrating birds." "Birds of the Lake Erie Region observes a year of weather changes and avian migrations - from the wintertime convergence of ducks and other waterbirds on the lake's last ice-free areas to the excitement of the raptor and shorebird migrations in the fall." "Expert or novice, birders and nature lovers will be moved by Platt's celebration of these birds and their habitat and by Meszaros's impressive photographs of the delicate beauty of these exquisite creatures."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: The time is midwinter in northern Ohio, and a pale sun hangs like an ice ball over Lake Erie's vast white surface.
