Book of North American Birds

Discover 600 Species of Birds Found in North America “Whether you are already hooked on birds or not, you will find this collection of attractive bird portraits and lively essays an informative supplement to your favorite field guide.” —ROGER TORY PETERSON “Book of North American Birds is a winner: attractive, informative, unique, thorough—the ingredients a successful bird book needs, woven around all-original art by some of the world’s greatest and best-known bird artists! The hundreds of illustrations make me hunger to see the remarkably beautiful animals they represent so well, both those I already know and those I have yet to meet in person. This book of birds will appeal to many audiences on a subject that never fails if done well. And this one is done well—handsome original illustrations, thoroughness, convenient organization, intelligent and competent text. It’s a book to be admired, enjoyed, used by anyone who knows birds, who might like to know them better, or would like to be introduced to them. If you will have only one bird book in your library, this should be it; if you have hundreds, this should be among them!” —THOMAS D. NICHOLSON, DIRECTOR EMERITUS, AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
