A Field Guide to Western Birds : A Completely New Guide to Field Marks of All Species Found in North America West of the 100th Meridian and North of Mexico (Peterson Field Guide Series)

Description

Roger Tory Peterson is the name synonymous with bird identification. His Field Guide to Western Birds has served generations of birdwatchers, and this 1998 Houghton Mifflin edition continues that legacy. Covering all species found in North America west of the 100th Meridian and north of Mexico, the guide is a comprehensive resource for identifying birds in one of the continent's most diverse and beautiful regions.\n\nPeterson's approach emphasizes field marks — the specific visual characteristics that allow for accurate identification in the field. Each entry includes clear illustrations and descriptions of plumage, behavior, and habitat. Whether you are a seasoned birder or a casual nature observer, this guide provides the tools you need to identify the birds you see and learn about the ecosystems they inhabit.
