The Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America

The Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America by Ted Floyd is information packed. This new Field guide features 2000 stunning photographs of 750 north american bird species including photos of male/Female, immature and flight when needed for identification. It is the first field guide to include a Data/audio DVD loaded with 587 MP3 format bird calls for 138 major species - over 5 1/2 hours of vocalizations as well as a color image of each species that will appear on your video Ipod or MP3 player-this DVD plays only on computers or MP3 enabled devices. The clear, up-to- date range maps a feature five colors indicating, summer, migration,winter, year-round, and rare but regularly occurring. The descriptions are concise but more illuminating than most field centric guides including Habits, and ecology, age-related and seasonal differences, regional forms, vocalization, and informative captions pointing out the most important aspect of each bird. In addition the book features introductory essays on plumage, molt, migration, and how to be a better birder, and 46 bird group essays about about ecology and migration of different bird books. It is a beautiful and information packed book that is small enough to be used comfortably as a field guide.
