Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of North America, Second Edition: The Definitive Resource for Bird Identification and Observation in the Natural World of North America (Peterson Field Guides Book 107)

This second edition of the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America updates the long-established field guide with 25 new plates dedicated to Hawaiian birds. Following the American Birding Association's expansion of its species Checklist to include Hawaii, this is the first Peterson edition to cover Hawaiian bird species alongside North American birds. The guide features the Peterson Identification System, which groups similar species and highlights key differences to aid identification. Range maps and text have been revised to reflect current ornithological knowledge, and illustrations have been updated throughout. The comprehensive guide covers birds from coast to coast across North America and includes a dedicated section on Hawaiian species. It serves birders of all experience levels, from beginners to experienced observers.
