Peterson
Field Guide to Birds of Eastern & Central North America, Sixth Edition, Roger Tory
Peterson
The best-selling field guide since 1934, the Peterson
Field Guide to Birds of Eastern and Central North America is now in
its sixth edition. With clear, succinct accounts of more than 500
species, accurate and beautiful paintings on 159 color plates, and
512 maps annotated with extensive range information, this is the
most up-to-date and accessible field guide for bird watchers in
eastern North America.
With all-new range maps, updated text, and 40 new paintings, the
completely revised edition is sure to be a valuable addition to any
birder's pocket or daypack. At a trim size of 5 x 8, it is portable
but also beautifully illustrated. Photographs, while modern looking
and colorful, capture just one moment in time. The paintings in
these guides, however, show all of a bird's key field marks and use
the Peterson Identification System to make bird identification
easier for beginning and intermediate bird watchers.
A team of professional birders has updated the text, the maps, and
the artwork. Expert birders also created 35 entertaining and
easy-to-use video podcasts, which are available to download. They
make fun and educational viewing on a computer desktop or MP3 player
Flexibound, 450 pages, 5.25 x 8.25 inches, full-color
illustrations, range maps. March 2010.
