Bird Conservation on Golf Courses

"Golf courses and course design ate for more than golfers; good courses attract birds for the enjoyment of all. Scott Gillihan shows how to effectively create and manage courses that contribute to bird conservation."--Richard M. DeGraaf, Chief Research Wildlife Biologists, USDA Forest Service "Golf courses are habitat for birds. Scott Gillihan does a superb job describing the bird management possibilities for managers of golf courses and other habitats. May the day come when golfers in conference at the 19th hole talk about two kinds of birdies that added to the day's enjoyment."--Jack Ward Thomas, Boone and Crockett Professor of Wildlife Conservation, University of Montana "The book will be an important reference for golf course management professionals who wish to be good stewards of birds and other wildlife on their property. The conservation philosophy and guidance that you offer should allow conscientious superintendents to establish a sound approach to bird conservation on their courses."--Thomas M. Franklin, Wildlife Policy Directory, The Wildlife Society
