Building on the first Atlas, published in 1994, this book documents the occurrence of 170 species of breeding birds, including three new species and one whose last breeding record was in 1888. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled from the efforts of almost two hundred volunteers, who worked from 2009 to 2014 to amass more than one hundred thousand records and conduct point-count surveys, the Atlas presents detailed information about each species and two hybrids. Species accounts are accompanied by maps that show breeding evidence as well as estimates of occurrence, change in occurrence, and population density. The volume covers state geography, climate, and changing habitats. It includes both a discussion of conservation concerns important to the state's breeding birds and a history of state ornithology and changes in West Virginia's avifauna drawn from observations and research from the nineteenth through the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing up-to-date information about 170 bird species and hundreds of beautiful color photographs--nearly all of which are identified by county locations--\u003ci\u003eThe Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in West Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable resource for researchers, conservationists, and birders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Bailey\u003c\/strong\u003e is the State Ornithologist for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasey Rucker\u003c\/strong\u003e is a self-taught ornithologist and the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Redstart\u003c\/i\u003e, West Virginia's birding journal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 568\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 12.2 x 9.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801432351027,"sku":"9780271089805","price":84.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/NZEbuODjWE9780271089805_82951a22-3f7b-4411-8cee-fe88aef244d6.webp?v=1785968881","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-second-atlas-of-breeding-birds-in-west-virginia-hardcover-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
