Description

Field identification guides are everywhere, but this series was just so handy we had to add them! This book is loosely organized by related species in taxonomic sequence. Special exceptions, however, are made for similar-looking beings, making it even handier for quick-reference. The left side of each spread details a few notes about each species and a small range map showing where each species appears. The right side features beautiful stylized yet realistic renditions of each which accentuate the minute differences in related species. Finally, species are specifically indexed by both Latin and common names, so you don't have to be a scientist to find “Order Gaviiformes" (Loons)! Features range maps with migration patterns and arrivals, and, interestingly enough, sonograms of common bird songs to help identify them audibly.
