Mississippi River Blufflands and Bird Conservation

The rubber hits the road in conservation when the landowning public involved. Researchers and amateur birders know that populations of many species of neotropical migrant birds are declining because of habitat loss and many natural- and human-caused dangers. However, the landowners may not know what neotropical migrants are or that they are in peril. This excellent booklet and enclosed pamphlet are intended to educate landowners along the Mississippi River blufflands in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota about neotropical migrant birds and their plight. Furthermore, it tactfully attempts to inspire concern about neotropical migrants and explains how management can help. While the editing isn\u27t perfect, both the booklet and pamphlet are effective in presenting information and persuasive arguments for conservation
