The Encyclopedia of North American Birds
- 384 pages 32 cm.
With over 500 species listed, this is an excellent book to identify birds with, as most of the birds listed also have a photograph to go with the description, as well as a colored map with summer/winter/all year round range. It starts with the large aquatic species, moves on to the larger land birds, and ends with the Sparrows. There is a highlighted area with basic information: Scientific name, Length, Habitat, Identification, and Similar species, and a larger text, with descriptions of its nesting habits, origins, diet, differences between young and adult, male and female, etc.
