Breeding Birds of Solano County
Napa-Solano Audubon is excited to announce the SECOND EDITION of the Breeding Birds of Solano County. After more than six years of preparation and extensive field work, this book is the culmination of our Solano Breeding Bird Atlas project and the definitive resource on the nesting birds of Solano County. Much more than just a landmark scientific publication, this is a true work of art: A hard cover book with the finest possible paper and materials, a professional layout and design, and hundreds of high-quality color photos.
The second edition is 12″ wide by 11″ tall, and includes the latest taxonomy and conservation status updates, modifications, and some minor corrections from the first edition. The book is now available for ordering online or pick-up at one of our events.

The book begins with a carefully researched and illustrated section on the geography and habitat types within Solano County. This is followed by a larger section describing all the nesting bird species. One page is dedicated to each species, with a detailed county map showing breeding locations, interpretive text, and beautiful original color photographs by local photographers.

eBook
In addition to the hard cover edition, the book is available as an interactive eBook with additional features. The eBook includes bird songs! On each species page, you can click to hear an example of the bird’s song or call. The eBook also has many extra pages including a summary of the results for each “block” or part of the county. The format of the eBook is the latest new “fixed layout” style that preserves the exact same layout and design as the hard cover book. It is best viewed on a larger tablet device rather than a smart phone. The book is available as either an EPUB file that should work on any non-Kindle tablet, or as a PDF file that should work on any tablet or e-reader.
