Book Description
Clapper rails (Rallus longirostris) are widely distributed in coastal marshes and river valleys of North and South America and the Caribbean. Seven of the 26 subspecies currently recognized by various authorities occur in the western portions of the United States and Mexico. Three races are classified by both the Department of Fish and Game as "endangered". These subspecies are the California clapper rail, the Light-footd clapper rail, and the Yuma clapper rail. Our investigations of these endangered forms included a review of pertinent literature and an examination of specimen data in selected museum collections. This paper deals with primarily with the endangered forms but also attempts to describe the general relationships of all western clapper rails.

Rail-Trails West
Author: Rails-to-Trails Conservancy
Publisher: Wilderness Press
ISBN: 0899974899
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
In this newest edition in the popular series, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy presents the best of the West. With 70 rural, suburban, and urban trails threading through 1,050 miles, Rail-Trails West covers 60 trails in California, eight in Arizona, and two in Nevada. Many rail-trails offer escapes from city life, like the Mount Lowe Railway Trail, high above the buzzing Los Angeles basin on a rail line vacationers once took to a mountaintop resort. Others offer the pure sensory thrill of sweeping terrain, like Arizona's 7-mile Prescott Peavine Trail. Still more juxtapose the natural world with the railroad's industrial past, like Nevada's Historic Railroad Hiking Trail, which passes through five massive tunnels to reach Hoover Dam. Every trip has a detailed map, directions to the trailhead, and information about parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities. Many of the level rail-trails are suitable for walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating, wheelchairs, and horses.
