Book Review of \u3ci\u3e Birds of the Great Plains\u3c/i\u3e by Bob Jennings, Ted T. Cable, and Roger Burrows

Though intended as a field guide to the birds of the Great Plains, this book seems to serve best as a general introduction to Great Plains birds and will mostly benefit those casually interested in birds. The definition of Great Plains the book uses is rather broad, and some species are included that, in my opinion, aren\u27t really birds of the Great Plains. For example, several warblers are included as breeding species although they nest within the book\u27s definition of the region only in the conifer or mixed forest of north-central to northwestern Minnesota, which isn\u27t really a part of the Great Plains proper
