My friend wrote and asked me about a reference book. Please reply directly
to me.
I need a good reference on the avian fauna of the Pacific NW. I
need the reference (single volume, please) to provide range and life history
(wintering, migration, breeding phases) by habitat (i.e., marine open water,
marine shoreline, streams, lakes, marine and freshwater wetlands, etc.). In
other words, for any given species, especially waterfowl, I would like to be
able look up where and in what habitat it breeds, where and in what habitat
it winters, and through and on what habitats it depends during migration.

I would also appreciate some ideas about the best sources for such a
reference.
