All the Birds: American Bird Conservancy's Field Guide: A Revolutionary System Based on Feeding Behaviors & Field Recognizable Features

No more frantic flipping through the pages as the bird flies away, with this easy-to-use identification guide, beginning to advanced birders can instantly locate the information they need. The fundamental problem vexing the previous creators of bird guides has been how to organize some 800 species so that the one bird at hand can be easily accessed by instantly observable field characteristics.

To date, the organization most books follow is taxonomic, the order in which birds have evolved, requiring readers to have considerable prior knowledge of this scientific classification system. But "with All the Birds of North America, " this problem has been solved. The first guide created by an information designer, it includes:

An identification system that uses icons and color bars keyed to how birds collect food, and other visual characteristics

Large-format, panoramic illustrations depicting birds in their natural feeding habitat

Full-color bird art that sets new standards for beauty and accuracy

The most accurate, up-to-date information by a team of Americas leading ornithological experts

600 four-color range maps

State of the art, computer recreated images of extinct species

A weather-resistant, pocket-size format with a flexible vinyl cover

And, with the imprimatur of the leading bird preservation organization, the American Bird Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bird conservation efforts, "All the Birds of North America" is destined to overtake all other field guides available.
