About This Book

This pocket-sized field guide presents color plates depicting land birds of the eastern United States arranged seasonally to reflect arrival and residence patterns. Plates are grouped into cases (winter residents, southern winter visitants, and early and late spring migrants) with consistent scale to aid size comparison, and each species is accompanied by concise labels describing plumage, distinguishing marks, seasonal range, and brief behavioral notes. The guide provides practical instruction for field observation, measurement, use of binoculars, and recording notes, plus locality-adjustment data for different latitudes. Wide margins and a user-oriented layout encourage taking the guide afield for direct comparison between live birds and illustrations.

This book is made in full compliance with Government Directive L 120 limiting the bulk of paper.
