A FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS by Roger Tory Peterson

A FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS

By

Pub Date: July 1st, 1947
Publisher: Houghton, Mifflin

Announcing a new and revised and enlarged edition of this standard guide. The System is based on pattern drawings, field marks, comparison between species. Every illustration -- the publishers assure us- is new. There are 500 pictures in color. I'm no ornithologist, but I find the Peterson book the most satisfactory for steady use.
