Abstract:
This is not just a guide to the many species of birds of Southwestern Alaska, but to their preferred habitat, courting displays, nest construction and location, number of eggs, incubation, fledging, food preferences, migration patterns, and many little-known habits of various birds. It gives details on special characteristics that make identification easier such as manner of walking, flying and feeding. It tells what seasons of the year an individual species is most apt to be seen and whether that species is common or uncommon and whether or not it is a known breeder in Southwestern Alaska.
