Profusely illustrated with color photographic plates and black-and-white drawings. "Each year thousands of people take up the absorbing hobby of bird-watching or "birding." Regardless of their motives, their first goal is learning to identify the hundreds of species in their own region. It is to make this step as simple - and pleasurable - as possible that this book has been prepared. Its pocket size and its format make it easy to carry into the field and consult on the spot. Take it with you. And welcome to the hobby, or sport, or science, of birding. Geographical Scope: A number of American bird guides divide North America into eastern and western regions at the 100th meridian. This is an arbitrary line that bears no relationship to natural habitats. We have chosen a line (see map) that follows the 100th meridian from the Edwards Plateau in Texas and cust northward through the Oklahoma panhandle but then curves west and runs along the Rockies through easter Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, and, in Canada, along the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Thus our line for the most part follows the Rockies, a natural barrier in the range of many eastern and western birds. Of course, many birds can and do pass over this barrier in both directions. Slowly but surely the number of identical species found on both sides is increasing." - excerpt from the Introduction.
