The Birds of Illinois

Near fine used hardcover in rubbed dust jacket with a few small chips. Signed by Zimmerman on title page.

The first comprehensive survey of the state's birdlife to be published in the twentieth century. The species accounts give special emphasis to distribution and abundance during this century, the current status of each species, the timing of migrations, habitat preference, and nesting information. Includes 49 original paintings especially prepared for the volume by renowned wildlife artist William Zimmerman.

A watershed work of art and reference.
