The book is based heavily on data derived from eBird, a website hosted by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology that has revolutionized birding over the last decade. It covers the vast majority of eBird "hotspots" in the county. The route descriptions include suggestions for finding the county's less-common bird species and when they may be expected along each route. The book also features a table showing the route(s) on which each species is likely to be found and graphs illustrating overall species diversity by month for each route. You can preview the sightings for each route here!
Burton and Anderson have collaborated on two previous books: Common Birds of the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary (published by Friends of the Arcata Marsh) and Common Birds of Northwest California (published by RRAS). Burton is also the author of Hiking Humboldt, volume 1 (published by Backcountry Press).
