Summary:	"The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas begins with an extensive introduction to Iowa's landforms, habitats, and the conditions affecting the abundance of species. From 1985 to 1990, 508 people donated 14,654 hours to locate birds in the field. This tremendous amount of work allowed the authors to create detailed accounts of the distribution and life history for each species of breeding bird in the state. Factors affecting each species are presented, and a distribution map and a photograph accompany each species account. Also included are literature citations for further research; although the fieldwork ended in 1990, information through 1995 is included."--Jacket.

Description
Summary:	<p>"The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas"--the first comprehensive statewide survey of Iowa's breeding birds--provides a detailed record of the composition and distribution of the avifauna of the Hawkeye State. The atlas documents the presence of 199 species, 158 of which were confirmed breeding. This landmark volume will alert Iowans to the limited distribution of numerous species and serve as a guide to the management practices--such as forest and wetland management, set-aside programs, reduction in farm chemical use, and crop diversity--which could help insure that many future changes are positive ones. "The Iowa Breeding Bird Atlas" provides a welcome and much-needed baseline for future comparisons of changes in Iowa's birdlife and, by extension, the lives of all animals in the state.
