Handbook of North American Birds: Volume 1, Loons through Flamingos

Very good hardcover in dust jacket. Dust jacket spine faded, dust spots to top edge. Includes tipped-in full-color chart, with a chromatic hexagon and an added arbitrary list of named colors. Sponsored by the American Ornithologists' Union and the New York State Museum and Science Service. The many illustrations, including 6 color plates by Peterson and Mengel, supplement the text descriptions.
