Description:
Wading birds, raptors, waterfowl, pelicans, gulls & terns, shorebirds, and songbirds. These are the types of birds Florida birdwatchers can see and learn about in Ken Janes’ stunning photobook Florida Birds: A Birdwatcher Discovers the Sunshine State. With all original photography by Janes and informational sections for each bird listed, those interested in the year-long hobby of Florida birdwatching will be able to not only learn key facts from this book but also display it in their homes as a piece of photo art.
Birdwatching and other birding activities are seasonal in most parts of the country but can take place year-round in Florida because of the warmer climate. Janes, a Mainer until winter when he travels to his Florida home, shows northerners and southerners alike what unique aviary life can be found in the Sunshine State. Janes takes a conservationist approach to his work and makes it clear to readers how certain species of birds have been negatively affected by harmful practices and chemicals, like the effect of DDT on Osprey.
