From Heyday Press:
Birds of the California Delta, a beautifully illustrated new guide by lifelong birder and Delta resident Aaron N. K. Haiman, invites readers to explore the avian diversity of one of California’s most biodiverse regions. From the wetlands where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers meet, to cultivated farmland and urban landscapes, Haiman showcases the bird species that thrive in this dynamic estuary.
With vivid full-color illustrations and detailed descriptions, the book brings to life the birds of the Delta, from the striking grace of ibises and cranes to the more cacophonous presence of woodpeckers and grackles. Haiman’s approachable writing style captures the essence of birdwatching in this ecologically rich area, offering insights into the birds’ behavior, habitat, and
role in the Delta’s ecosystem.
“Set in the center of the state of California at the confluence of its two largest rivers […] the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) is the beating heart of California’s water system,” writes Haiman in his introductory essay about the region.
Accessible to both experienced birders and newcomers, this guide is a celebration of the Delta’s birds and their habitat.
