  • Fourth in the series of Heyday's "Birds of..." books, following Birds of Berkeley, Birds of Lake Merritt, andBirds of Point Reyes.
  • Like Birds of Point Reyes, this book identifies birds in a more well-known ecological area rather than an urban area, but the focus is much larger on the entire California Delta, aka the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
  • The book's introduction makes clear the very special ecological landscape of the Delta, its specific environment for the types of birds highlighted, the challenges in preserving it, and a birding quick guide.
  • Like the other books in the series, each species is accompanied by beautiful original illustrations.
  • 25 unique birds are highlighted in all, including the loggerhead shrike, tricolored blackbirds, pie-billed grebe, savannah sparrow, killdeer, and yellow-billed magpie.
  • Author is an Environmental Scientist working for the Wildlife Conservation Board. In the past he worked at the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy for over 5 years as an Environmental Scientist where he eventually led the Prop 1 Grant Program which funds projects to improve and restore ecological benefits to the Delta and Suisun Marsh.
  • The book's illustrator isCosta Rican artist Martha Espinoza, making this the first edition in the series with an illustrator different from the author.
  • There is need for this type of book centered on this specific and very important part of California's natural environment.
