BOOK REVIEW : Habitat Characteristics of Some Passerine Birds in Western North American Taiga

Abstract

This short monograph is a welcome contribution to the study of Alaska ornithology, particularly since so little information has been published on habitat use by passerines in the region. The title is misleading, though, as the book is not a comprehensive treatise on habitats across the western North American taiga. Rather, it primarily reports on the results of a two-summer study of a single drainage in central Alaska.
