National Geographic: Field Guide to the Birds of North America This is the ultimate birder’s field guide. Now in its fourth edition, this sturdy, portable, and easy-to-use book offers the most complete information available on every bird species known to North America. This revised edition features 250 completely updated range maps, new plumage and species classification information, specially commissioned full-color illustrations, and a superb new index that allows birders in the field to quickly identify a species. The organization is clear, the illustrations are realistic and more colorful than ever, and the range maps are easy to understand. It covers all North American bird species, including seabirds--and marking the little checkboxes in the index as you spot each species is a satisfying science that can be done by anyone, including kids! Another delightful feature is the phonetic spellings of bird calls, such as the "kakakowlp-kowlp" of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo or the "few-few-fawee" of the Western bluebird. This remains one of the best portable bird guides in publication, tough enough to take in the field, but detailed enough for hours of armchair browsing. 800 illustrations, 630 maps, softcover, 480 pages |
