There’s a new series of seven field guides to help people learn about the birds found in their region. The All About Birds Regional Field-Guide Series is built upon information from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's All About Birds website, used by more than 20 million people each year. "There are more than 700 species of birds in North America," explained series editor Jill Leichter at the Cornell Lab. "That’s daunting if you’re just getting started in birdwatching. But we've tailored the books to showcase about 200 species most likely to be found in each of 7 regions, making it easier to find the bird you're trying to identify." Maine is covered in the Northeast U.S. and Eastern Canada region.
