Bird Feathers: A Guide To North American Species

This guide teaches birders to use the characteristics of wing types and feather morphology to identify feathers - not only by species but also by their place on the bird's body. The introductory chapters give a detailed overview of the feather - how feathers developed, the parts of a single feather, and the variety of types of feathers on a bird. In the feather identification section, over 400 colour photographs show feather samples from 379 bird species from all over North America. Along with the wing type of the species and a map showing its range, several types of feathers are included for each bird; each feather is labelled with its type and its size.

Sibley's Eastern & Western Field Guide To Birds

Sibley soars to excellence yet again. Based on his previous volume, The Sibley Guide to Birds, these smaller regional editions provide the portability that birders require. All the qualities to be expected in a field guide are here: concise species description (status, habitat, behavior, and voice), comparisons with similar species, field marks, range maps, the inclusion of exotics, and a good binding (able to withstand both field and rugged armchair testing). Image reproduction is crisp, colors are distinct, shading shows well, and despite the very small size, range map colors are clear. A detailed index (which includes both common and scientific name) and a quick index with family-level common names (e.g., owl, sparrow, and gull) provide additional access. Sibley has accomplished the difficult task of condensing his previous guide to practical field size. Consider these essential purchases for all collections.
