Wholesale Field Guide to the Birds of North America by Miles McMullen

[Pelagic] Field Guide to the Birds of North America is a complete, compact and user-friendly guide to all the birds of the USA and Canada (excluding Hawaii). Drawing on years of guiding experience, the book is perfectly designed for use in the field. Pocket-sized and at just 372 pages, it covers 1,100 species – more than any other guide to North America – and includes over 6,000 illustrations. Distribution ranges of all native birds are mapped, and many confusing subspecies are included for the first time in a field guide for the region. The book gives special attention to the key differences between troublesome species, with comparisons to help the reader get to the right identification. Compact and comprehensive, this new field guide includes: - Color-coded maps showing resident and seasonal distributions to help plan which birds to expect when and where. - ‘What’s the difference?’ information boxes providing easy guidance on the most challenging species to identify.
