Sibley’s Backyard Birds: Eastern North America

"Once in a great while, a natural history book changes the way people look at the world. In 1838, John James Audubon's Birds of America was one . . . In 1934, Roger Tory Peterson produced Field Guide to the Birds . . . Now comes The Sibley Guide to Birds. " -- New York Times "This wonderful book is comprehensive--erudite--in fact, magnificent, a powerful book that will start a new generation of bird books and birding. It provides triple the educational content over any predecessor. The treatments are innovative and superb." --Frank Gill, director of science, National Audubon Society "An ecological testament to the majesty of birds in all their variations." --Terry Tempest Williams on David Allen Sibley's illustrations
