Check more than 500 birds off your list with the ultimate photographic field guide.
This compact field guide features the highest quality photographs to help you identify more than 500 bird species with ease. Each bird's entry includes clear images at rest and in flight and pictures the male, female, and juvenile where they are different. There is even a handy flight-pattern diagram for those moments when all you catch is a glimpse of them in flight as they dart into a bush. A "similar species" panel picks out the lookalikes that could cause confusion, pointing out the telltale differences.
