Sibley, America's most gifted contemporary painter of birds, is
the author and illustrator of this comprehensive guide. His
beautifully detailed illustrations--more than 6,600 in all--and
descriptions of 810 species and 350 regional populations will
enrich every birder's experience. The Sibley Guide's innovative
design makes it entirely user-friendly. The illustrations are
arranged to facilitate comparison, yet still capture the unique
character of each species. • Captioned illustrations show many
previously unpublished field marks and revisions of known marks.
• Nearly every species is shown in flight • Measurements include
length, wingspan, and weight for every species • Subspecies and
geographic variants are covered thoroughly • Complete voice
descriptions are included for every species • Maps show the
complete distribution of every species: summer and winter
ranges, migration routes, and rare occurrences
