The Crossley ID Guide: Western Birds will vastly improve your ability to identify birds in its innovative approach of how to look at birds to get to know them. Like others in the Crossley ID Guide series, Western Birds features lifelike scenes for each species.
These scenes―650 in all―are composed from more than 10,000 of the author's images showing birds in a wide range of views--near and far, from different angles, in various plumages and behaviors, including flight, and in the habitat in which they live. The beautiful compositions show how a bird's appearance changes with distance, and give equal emphasis to characteristics experts use to identify birds: size, shape, behavior, and patterns of color.
