Better Birding reveals
the techniques expert birders use to identify a wide array of bird species in
the field—quickly and easily. Featuring hundreds of stunning photos and
composite plates throughout, this book simplifies identification by organizing
the birds you see into groupings and offering strategies specifically tailored
to each group. Skill building focuses not just on traditional elements such as
plumage, but also on creating a context around each bird, including habitat,
behavior, and taxonomy—parts so integral to every bird’s identity but often
glossed over by typical field guides. Critical background information is
provided for each group, enabling you to approach bird identification with a
wide-angle view, using your eyes, brain, and binoculars more strategically,
resulting in a more organized approach to learning birds.
Better Birding puts the
thrill of expert bird identification within your reach.
