Naming the Birds at a Glance (A New System)

Good hardcover in a dust jacket.  Tight binding. Age-toned pages.  DJ is faded, shelf- worn with significant chips, small tears, and tape. Ex library.  

A guide to the Eastern land birds, from South Carolina to the Rocky Mountains and North to the Arctic. 1963.

A system which teaches you how to identify any unfamiliar bird by using whatever you notice at first sight.  It offers an instant key to bird patterns and tone characteristics - available at the flip of a finger to either end paper.  There, the user will find a Color Pattern Guide, or key, which reveals instantly those additional markings handily organized by over-all color categories.  The endpaper guide refers you to two or three specific pages of picture and text.  These marking notations will guide you to the correct bird no matter which of the several characteristics was first noticed.
