| Publisher Description: This National Geographic classic shows the mystery of bird migration and the incredible journeys that birds undertake in the Americas each year. 67 types of birds that migrate are shown on a map of the Americas that is overlaid with pathways that show migration routes from nesting grounds to wintering areas. Full-color bird paintings by noted illustrator Arthur Singer show each of the 67 species, making it easy to identify birds as they fly their amazing journeys. The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the fames can be much lighter and less expensive.
