| Both birders and bird-watchers will soar in laughter as they study the fabulous species catalogued in this field guide. As with any quality field guide, this volume is replete with excellent illustrations, detailed descriptions, observation hints, and range maps, but you will never look at our feathered friends in quite the same way after you encounter these hilarious birds. While there are many excellent field guides on the market, none include these species. Only the Sills' guide hovers over the forefront of ornithological discovery. It identifies thirty new species, each illustrated in detail with brilliant watercolors by noted nature artist John Sill. What Dogue and Catmopolitan did for the canine and feline populations, the Sills' field guide does for the avian. From the discovery of the Spore Mother Warbler, the common ancestor of all known present-day warblers, to the resplendent American Bunting marked with red, white, and blue, A FIELD GUIDE TO LITTLE-KNOWN AND SELDOM-SEEN BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA gives bird-watching a new glamor as it buzzes the hallowed territory of John J. Audubon and Roger Tory Peterson. Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.
