A Guide to Field Identification: Birds of North America

Illustrations are excellent, and the range maps (so you know a particular species cannot be misidentified because it lives in the NW and you're in the NE) and sonagrams of bird songs included on every page, and the varieties listed together in evolutionary order w/waterbirds first & ending with sparrows makes finding your species much easier. Best of all is a birdlist index at the back, w/boxes to check when you identify your bird. Condition: Outside boards are thin with some chipping. Spine is cracked and has been taped at some point. Pages are beautifully illustrated by Arthur Singer, with some notations made by previous owner, nothing obtrusive. Binding has a couple of cracks. Original prices marked on front cover shows $2.95.
