Packed within New Hampshire's small surface area is an impressive assortment of unique habitats, including alpine tundra, salt marshes, seashore, lakes, and coniferous forests. It is no surprise, then, that over 400 bird species have been recorded in the Granite State, including stand-outs like Spruce Grouse, Saltmarsh Sparrow, Horned Lark, Bicknell's Thrush, and state bird Purple Finch. Sifting through such a large assortment of species can be challenging, so it helps to establish a foundation of knowledge based on the most representative species. You can do this with the portable reference New Hampshire Birds, which features beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is an excellent bird identification tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders, while serving as an entry point into birds' fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
