Birds of North America: A Guide to Field Identification - 1966

"This is perhaps the most complete single volume field guide to North American birds ever published. Within its pages are included approximately 700 species of birds from the Mexican border to the Arctic Ocean. It covers breeding birds and regular and casual visitors, eastern birds and western, as well as birds of Alaska and Canada. Arthur Singer, the internationally famed artist, has made some 2000 illustrations for this guide. These pictures appear directly opposite the text descriptions for handy reference in the field. The illustrations feature male birds in breeding plumage, and females and immatures when plumages are noticeably different from the males'. The birdwatcher can find out immediately what birds are normally seen in his area by checking the range maps at the left of the text pages. These maps show not only summer and winter ranges but even the birds' spring and fall migration routes..." - Birds of North America: A Guide to Field Identification = Chandler S.
