Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of North America, Second Edition

About this book

A new edition of the best-selling field guide with 25 all-new plates covering the birds of Hawaii.

For decades, the Peterson Field Guide to Birds has been a popular and trusted bird watching guide for birders of all levels, thanks to its famous system of identification and unparalleled illustrations. Now that the American Birding Association has expanded its species Checklist to include Hawaii, the Peterson Guide is the first edition to include the wonderful and exotic Hawaiian birds. In addition, the text and updated range maps have been revised, and much of the art has been touched up to reflect current knowledge for easy bird identification.

This comprehensive second edition gives you everything you need for successful birding in North America:

  • The Peterson Identification System: Put the famous method to work, simplifying bird identification by grouping similar species and highlighting key differences on the page.
  • Complete North American Coverage: Explore from coast to coast with fully updated range maps and text reflecting the latest ornithological knowledge.
