Sparrows of the United States and Canada: The Photographic Guide

In this companion volume to their previous, widely acclaimed Guide to the Identification and Natural History of the Sparrows of The United States and Canada, David Beadle and Jim Rising take sparrow identification one step further. They have gathered a stunning selection of over 350 photographs as a basis for the identification of all 64 species of emberizine sparrow found in the region. Never before has such a comprehensive collection of sparrow photos been presented together in a single guide.

This supporting text gives detailed information on the identification of species, sexes, ages, races and forms of all the sparrows, towhees, juncos, buntings and longspurs, grassquits and seedeaters, as well as information on their distribution, habits, habitats, moult and voice. Particular attention is paid to the geographic variation found in many species and to comparisons with similar and confusing species. The conservation status of those that are threatened is also given due attention.
