Birds of Konza The Avian Ecology of the Tallgrass Prairie

Konza Prairie, an 8,600-acre tallgrass prairie landscape cut by occasional stands of forests along streams and creeks, provides seasonal or permanent habitat for more than 200 species of birds. Owned by the Nature Conservancy and administered by the Division of Biology at Kansas State University, Konza is located in the last major remnant of virgin tallgrass prairie that once stretched from the eastern Dakotas to Oklahoma and east through Iowa and Illinois to Indiana and Ohio. Featuring a current synopsis of the seasonal occurrence, habitat preference, breeding status, and abundance for all 208 species that have been recorded on the site, this book provides a basis for comparisons to other habitats and geographic areas as well as the benchmark for continuing studies of the tallgrass prairie. It is the only long-term, comprehensive analysis of bird populations in both grassland and forested habitats in the region.Zimmerman, John L. is the author of 'Birds of Konza The Avian Ecology of the Tallgrass Prairie' with ISBN 9780700605972 and ISBN 0700605975.
