Winter options include Northern and Central California, Oklahoma, Northeastern Minnesota, Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley, and South Florida. Springtime is covered for Colorado, Texas, the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, coastal North Carolina, and Southeastern Arizona. Birders planning summer trips will want to study the chapters on Alaska, Minnesota and North Dakota, Colorado, West Texas, and Western Washington and Southwestern British Columbia. In late summer/early fall it's time to head back to Southeastern Arizona for the hummingbird show, swing through Central and Southern California to catch the post-breeding dispersal and the start of fall migration, or wander up to Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick for the specialties of that beautiful region. Jerry winds up the year in the Niagara River Area, studying the huge concentrations of gulls that winter there. Traveling birders won't want to ignore the baker's dozen trips, as they include some excellent areas: the Klamath Basin, the Platte River, Point Pelee, North-Central Michigan, St. Louis, Churchill, Manitoba, Northwestern Wyoming, Grand Manan and Machias Seal Island, North-Central Utah, the Delaware Bayshore, Cape May, Hawk Mountain, and Coastal Massachusetts. | [E] | |
