The atlas profiles 182 species, from the sociable House Wren to the secretive Black Rail; from the thriving Red-shouldered Hawk to the threatened Wilson's Plover. The atlas is the result of a systematic survey conducted from 1994 to 2001, the massive collaborative effort of several private organizations, public agencies, and many individuals. It offers a wealth of information critical to bird-conservation efforts and provides a baseline so that changes to species ranges, numbers, and other significant aspects of each species' status can be better understood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach species account includes: \u003cbr\u003eColor photograph of the bird\u003cbr\u003eInformation on the bird's habitat and life history, distribution, population trends, and conservation status.
