About This Book

A practical natural-history and field guide written for sportsmen and anglers that surveys the game birds and game fishes found along the Pacific Coast. Coverage extends from the British Columbia line south through California to Arizona and parts of northern Mexico, treating identification, habits, ranges and breeding grounds in plain language. Species are organized by familiar orders and families and supplemented with anatomical notes and ready-reference diagrams listing scientific and common names. Numerous photographs of live and carefully mounted specimens illustrate plumage and markings. The text emphasizes recognition and field habits of quail, grouse, turkeys, ducks, shorebirds and game fishes to aid ethical, informed sport.

Transcriber's Notes

The text presented here is that contained in the original printed version. Other than the typographical corrections listed below and a number of minor corrections, the following changes were introduced:

1) Paragraphs split by illustrations or tables were rejoined.
2) The illustrations were placed above the section describing the species illustrated.
3) The following errata notes displayed on the bottom of pages 112, 114 and 116 in the original publication have been applied:
       "In the make-up of a few pages on the shore birds, the scientific names have become transposed.
They should read:
  Page 112: Dowitcher (Macrohampus scolopaceus).
  Page 114: Yellow-legs (Totanus melanoleucus).
    "      " : Marlin (Limosa fedora).
  Page 116: Red-backed sandpiper (Tringa alpina pacifica).
    "      " : Willet (Symphemia Semipalmata inornata)."
4) There appears to be text missing under the description of "WILSON'S PLOVER" in the "Measurements" section on page 125.
      A note was inserted to that effect
5) The Æ ligature which was used in the caption of the image on page 122 has been changed to the letters "AE" for consistancy with the way those names are displayed elsewhere in the book.
