The region's best-selling, most comprehensively illustrated and trusted field guide, it offers: Rewritten species accounts, now with group introductions. Newly designed plates for ease of use and comparison. More than 380 new improved illustrations. Illustrations with simplified labels, pinpointing key differentiating features. Updated distribution maps showing relative abundance and indicating resident or migrant status. Calendar bars showing species' occurrence and breeding periods, and sonograms depicting the calls of difficult-to-distinguish birds that have distinctive calls. The larger format allows for better appreciation and easier use of the plates.
