"Better Birding" reveals the techniques expert birders use to identify a wide array
of bird species in the field -- quickly and easily. Featuring hundreds of photos and
composite plates throughout, this book simplifies identification by organizing the
birds you see into groupings and offering strategies specifically tailored to each
group. Skill building focuses not just on traditional elements such as plumage, but
also on creating a context around each bird, including habitat, behavior, and taxonomy
-- parts so integral to every bird's identity but often glossed over by typical field
guides. Critical background information is provided for each group, enabling you to
approach bird identification with a wide-angle view, using your eyes, brain, and binoculars
more strategically, resulting in a more organized approach to learning birds
