Summary
Now with the most current information on all of the birds of North America as classified by the American Ornithologists' Union, this handy book allows you to document first sightings and note identifying markings of any bird you might encounter. Taking this book into the field, jotting down notes, and recording identification or unique features with coloured pencils while the birds are in sight will soon create a useful supplement to a field guide, a priceless collection of life list entries, and a personal chronicle of years of bird-watching
