Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Monterey County, edited by Don Roberson and Chris Tenney
This detailed and definitive analysis of Monterey County's breeding birds has set the standard for breeding bird atlases nationwide. It is a superb conservation planning tool, as well as an invaluable resource for recreational birders. Now in very limited supply, the Atlas has become a sought-after collector's item. The Atlas is available for loan in the Monterey and Pacific Grove Public Libraries. If interested in acquiring your own copy, please let us know here.
