Borderland Birds: Nesting Birds of the Southern Border

Borderland Birds includes almost 100 birds that I have encountered along the southern border from Arizona to the Gulf.

Many are "specialty birds, species that cannot be found elsewhere in the U.S.

Examples include chachalaca, red-billed pigeon, hook-billed kite, aplomado falcon, ferruginous pygmy-owl, elegant trogon, blue-throated and lucifer hummingbirds, Mexican and green jays, Audubon's and Altamira orioles, pyrrhuloxia, varied bunting, and Colima and rufous-capped warblers.

All of the birds are illustrated with photographs by Greg Lasley, Kelly Bryan, Bob Behrstock, and Martin Reid.
