Zusatztext "This comprehensive book provides just about any view of the 56 North American warblers that you can imagine." Informationen zum Autor Tom Stephenson & Scott WhittleDrawings by Catherine Hamilton Klappentext "The Warbler Guide arrived the other day and it is amazing! Such a complete compendium! [A]nd yet not daunting to someone just starting to love the 'jewels of the bird world' and getting past the 'all I can see is their bellies because they're up in the treetops!' . . . I can't wait to introduce it to my Illinois Audubon chapter members!" --Darlene Fiske "The whole book has a refreshingly fresh approach. The authors and illustrator have put a lot of thought into how really to help us identify these birds. This is definitely not 'just another field guide'." --Mark Avery The Warbler Guide is a fine book crammed with photographs, tips, expert advice, innovation and information designed to help identify a unique and beautiful set of birds. -- Phil Slade Another Bird Blog Fantastic and, yes, ground-breaking... There will be no birder north of the Rio Grande who would turn down this book. There will be few who intend to visit North America that would not want to spend time familiarising themselves with the Wood Warblers, and there is no better way for them than to open these pages and get lost in their cornucopia of detail...

I am amazed and impressed with each of its features...

The Warbler Guide, by Tom Stephenson and Scott Whittle, is not just another bird identification book... The authors have thought long and hard about what makes an identification guide work and then approached it their own way. The auditory descriptions of bird song and chips, based on scientific analysis rather than a subjective translation of sound, present a very different approach to identifying birds by ear. The abundance of photographs, the plethora of charts and finding guides, all printed in brilliant color on lovely paper, the clarity of design, make this book a joy to look at and to use. -- Donna Schulman 10,000 Birds Zusammenfassung A field guide that revolutionizes warbler identification Warblers are among the most challenging birds to identify.
