Book Description
Novice birders often distinguish birds by color and size. Sierra Birds: A Hiker's Guide is a unique book that assumes no prior birding knowledge on the part of the reader and is organized for quick and easy reference. Color-coded keys eliminate the time-consuming and frustrating necessity of having to thumb randomly through a hefty guide, hoping to stumble upon the right species…before it disappears! A cross-index of bird families is also included for more advanced birders. All this in a format that is simply organized, light-weight, and small enough to tuck inside a pocket.
From the Publisher
Here is a basic field guide that will be celebrated by beginning and experienced birders alike.
