These scenes--640 in all--are composed from more than 10,000 of the author's images showing birds in a wide range of views--near and far, from different angles, in various plumages and behaviors, including flight, and in the habitat in which they live. These beautiful compositions show how a bird's appearance changes with distance, and give equal emphasis to characteristics experts use to identify birds: size, structure and shape, behavior, probability, and color. This is the first book to convey all of these features visually--in a single image--and to reinforce them with accurate, concise text. Each scene provides a wealth of detailed visual information that invites and rewards careful study, but the most important identification features can be grasped instantly by anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3999996185303px;\"\u003eBy making identification easier, more accurate, and more fun than ever before, \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Crossley ID Guide\u003c\/em\u003ewill completely redefine how its users look at birds.
