Bird Books

Great year-round birding, grand scenery, and a birdlist that includes some of the most sought-after and beautiful birds in all of North America—these were the inspirations for Jim Lane when he wrote the first Lane Guide in 1965. Three decades later, Richard Cachor Taylor, a near-lifetime resident of Southeastern Arizona, bird-tour guide, and author, completed a totally revised edition of that first guide in the Lane series—renamed the Birdfinding Guides. And now, Rick has authored a second edition of his essential guide to Southeastern Arizona.
