Finding Rocky Mountain National Park's Birds with Richard H. Hahn - Tapa blanda

A beautiful full-color field guide to the birds in Rocky Mountain National Park, this book features the bird photography of Estes Park, Colorado, photographer Richard H. Hahn, as well as Hahn's detailed field notes about the birds he has spent decades observing. The book features over 40 migrant and resident birds commonly seen in RMNP. For each bird, Hahn offers a full-page color photograph. On the facing page, he details the time of year and habitat in which that bird is most commonly sighted in RMNP, as well as two specific, easily accessible RMNP locations that will most likely afford a glimpse of that species. He then offers his field observations of that bird in the national park, including relevant historical and cultural connections. Written with his daughter, Sarah Hahn Campbell, this showcase of Hahn's detailed observations of the birds of Colorado's most popular national park will prove as indispensable to Rocky Mountain National Park visitors as a pair of binoculars, a camera, and a map.

Richard H. Hahn is a landscape and wildlife photographer in Estes Park, Colorado. Hahn has long loved observing birds, particularly the birds of Rocky Mountain National Park, which he has been glad to call his backyard since 2003, when moved from Iowa, where he had farmed hogs and corn, to re-make himself as a photographer. He finds the birds of the Rockies to be dependably interesting companions on his hikes in the woods, and has studied them carefully through the lens of his camera. From 2010-2013, Hahn led weekly bird walks for the National Park Service as a volunteer park ranger. Today, Hahn and his wife Helen run the Alpenglow Images and Accents art gallery in Estes Park, where they feature Hahn's photographs and other local artists' work. Hahn holds an MBA from the University of Iowa. Sarah Hahn Campbell, Hahn's oldest daughter, is a writer and teacher in Denver, Colorado. She has published several essays, a monthly column, and two books. Like her dad, she loves hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, which she has been visiting since babyhood.
