Final Flight: 10 Northeastern Birding Spots at Risk from Climate Change

Final Flight interweaves the beauty of bird watching and the looming reality of habitat and species loss from climate change. In the book, renowned ornithologist Trevor Lloyd-Evans chose 10 iconic birding sites in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada that are at risk from climate change. Working with David McGlinchey, his colleague at the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences, Lloyd-Evans discusses the species highlights, habitat, best times to visit and climate change impacts for each site. For some sites, the book highlights the danger to habitat. For others, it is the migrant birds that are at risk from warming temperatures and a shifting climate. The book features the stunning photography of Ian Davies–from a brilliant Scarlet Tanager in the mountains of Vermont to an American Oystercatcher splashing in the surf on the outer reaches of Cape Cod. All proceeds from the sale of this book will support Manomet's banding research and education programs.
