Birds of Utah: A Guide to Common and Notable Species

By: Greg R. Homel

Birds of Utah is a quick and easy-to-use, lightweight, durable, all-weather field guide to the remarkable and incredibly varied birdlife of the tenth least populous US state. Stunning digital photographs depict 126 species of common and notable birds, enabling users to identify nearly every commonly occurring bird and regional specialty they encounter—day or night—where the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin Desert, and Colorado Plateau converge.

Whether visiting the lofty heights of the rugged Wasatch or Uinta ranges, the low flats and emergent islands of the Great Salt Lake, the urban expanses of Salt Lake City and its myriad small towns, or radiating out to Utah’s borders with five other states, users will find this guide an indispensable companion to help them identify the birds they encounter on their journeys.

Aimed at beginning and intermediate birders, the guide will easily fit into any daypack, pocket or glove compartment, facilitating spontaneous and easy field identification—whether in a backyard, on a family vacation to any of Utah’s scenic national parks, national monuments, national forests, state parks and recreation areas… or on a serious birding trip to the best birding hot spots within this Four Corners State.
