The
Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America, David Allen Sibley
The publication, in 2000 and 2001, of the
huge and hugely acclaimed Sibley Guide to Birds and Sibley Guide to
Bird Life and Behavior gave birders encyclopedic sources of
information about all the avian species they might see in North
America. Now David Allen Sibley has prepared two guides specifically
designed for use in the field—both eminently portable. The Sibley
Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America and The Sibley
Field Guide to Birds of Western North America each have
essential information and thousands of illustrations culled from the
first two books, plus many entirely new illustrations and newly
drawn maps. In each guide, you’ll find:
• Complete coverage: 550 Eastern species, 650 Western
• More than 4,000 Sibley paintings, with at least six views of each
species
• Clear, detailed bird descriptions, augmented with information on
habitat and behavior (absent from most field guides)
• All-new maps vetted by 90 experts who provided the most up-to-date
and accurate range information ever available in a field guide
• Range: Each volume covers a larger area—especially along the
dividing line between Eastern and Western regions—than any other
guide.
