Birds in Jeopardy: The Imperiled and Extinct Birds of the United States and Canada, Including Hawaii and Puerto Rico

The natural habitats of birds have degraded and diminished and the bird populations have declined. In the U.S. and Canada, 33 bird species have already been driven to extinction and well over 150 are in danger of extinction in all or parts of their range. This book, enriched by 191 beautiful color paintings illustrating all of the birds treated, is the first concise, authoritative review of the status of the birds currently imperiled in the U.S. and Canada -- those that are federally listed as Endangered or Threatened and those that are listed by the Nat. Audubon Soc. as suffering local or regional or widespread decline. Also treats the birds that have been driven to extinction in the past two centuries. Includes the imperiled and extinct tropical birds of Hawaii and Puerto Rico.Ehrlich, Paul R. is the author of 'Birds in Jeopardy: The Imperiled and Extinct Birds of the United States and Canada, Including Hawaii and Puerto Rico', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756790271 and ISBN 0756790271.
