CALIFORNIA BIRDLIFE, 
Introduction to
Evans & Tait
Describes the representative birds in California's seven major bioregions:
ocean, seashore, coastal ranges, Central Valley, mountains and foothills, Great
Basin, and deserts. It explains key relationships among weather patterns, plant
communities, and the ecological rhythms of these habitats and shows how these
factors relate to the distribution, behavioral adaptations, and environmental
challenges of its birds. The perfect book for beginning and intermediate
naturalists, and in-depth enough for experienced naturalists who would like to
learn more about the habitat affinities, ecological niches, and seasonal cycles
of California birds.

of the adult or some other stage.
