The
Birder's Handbook
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 parent incubates and for how long, and how the young
are cared for
-
Food preferences and foraging habits.
You will
also find information about display 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.
Peterson
Warblers
The first comprehenxive field
guide to North American warblers describes all 60 species in detail, from
field marks and vocalizations to mating habits and preferred habitats.
The 32 color paintings use the unique Peterson Identification system to
indicate what distinguishes one bird from another. 141 color photographs
show various plumages for each species, and 60 large color maps show species'
ranges.

Peterson
Advanced Birding
This is the field guide that begins
where the other guides leave off - that tells exactly how to solve the
most challenging bird identification problems of North America. Although
it's called a guide to advanced birding, it is so clearly written
and beautifully illustrated that even a beginner can use it.
It covers the thirty-five most
difficult groups of birds, from winter loons to confusing fall warblers,
jaegers to chickadees, accipiters to flycatchers. It explains concisely
and precisely what the problems are in each group; then it systematically
shows just how to solve them - how to tell one species from another, one
plumage from another, an adult bird from a juvenile, a three-year-old gull
from a two-year-old gull.
