Synopsis
This is the most complete and authoritative reference book about the birds of North America -- up to date and in field-guide format.
The Birder's Handbook is the first of its kind: a portable library of fascinating information not included in your identification guide. For each of the 646 species of birds that breed in North America, The Birder's Handbook will tell you at a glance:
* Where the bird nests, and which sex(es) build(s) the nest;
* How many eggs the bird lays, what they look like, which patent incubates and for how long, and how the young are cared for;
* Food preferences and foraging habits.
You will also find information about displays and mating, wintering, conservation status, and much more. In addition, The Birder's Handbook contains some 250 short essays covering all aspects of avian natural history.

Affected pages are rippled, but they do not stick together or have abrasions from this having happened in the past. DJ is in almost perfect condition except the fact that is sunned on the spine. Also, there is a small crease/rippling of the paper near the top spine (not from water). Back of DJ may have light soiling. Text pages seem free of remainder marks. No highlights or writing.
