A long-awaited follow-up to Alice Kelley's noted 1978 work, The Birds of Southeastern Michigan and Southwestern Ontario. A compilation of data gathered in the area of the Rouge River Bird Observatory on the University of Michigan-Dearborn campus, this annotated checklist provides records for more than 240 species of resident and migratory birds plus pertinent historical data.  The Birds of Southeast Michigan: Dearborn offers an up-to-date look at bird populations for the southeast corner of the state. Line drawings, charts, graphs, and aerial maps included.

"The Birds of Southeast Michigan: Dearborn combines historical perspective with systematic up-to- date observations, thus summarizing the changing status of birds in the region. It is essential reading for those seeking a better understanding of interrelation ships between birds and today's highly modified envi ronments."

— Ray Adams, Research Director, Kalamazoo Nature Center, co-editor of The Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Michigan; consulting editor and co-author of The Birds of Michigan

"The Birds of Southeast Michigan: Dearborn is an important addition of the documentation and status and distribution of our Michigan birds at the regional level. Works of this dimension are needed to assist with current resource or land-use planning and for future avian research projects."

— Steve Allen, President, Michigan Field Ornithologists and Bird Banders and co-author of The Birds of Michigan

"This book provides valuable information about numerous resident and migrant birds occurring in Michigan. Additionally, the historical information in the book provides insight into the declining trends in bird populations in Michigan. Hence, The Birds of Southeast Michigan: Dearborn is a valuable resource to all those interested in Michigan birds."

— Terry Root, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan.
