Massachusetts Breeding Bird Atlas 2

Bird conservation points the way to richer and more diverse landscapes, which is something people need as much as birds do. TheMassachusetts Breeding Bird Atlas 2, the product of five years of field work by hundreds of citizen scientists, is a richly illustrated collection of essays, detailed maps, and data that defines the status of more than 200 breeding bird species that fill the Commonwealth with color and song. Giving voice to the stories and challenges of the birds that nest in Massachusetts, this work gives us a rare glimpse into the detailed changes of our birdlife over the last 40 years. It is an approachable and lively treatment of the population trends of our breeding birds, especially important in this time of rapidly changing climate. This is a treasure trove of information for the future of bird conservation in Massachusetts and beyond.
