The Illustrated Bird Watcher's Dictionary

Very good used hardcover. Slightly worn dust jacket. Previous owner's blind stamp on title page. Personal inscription on endpaper.

This dictionary defines, in ordinary language, the common and no-so-common but important terms used in birding, vernacular names of the birds found in the Americas, and brief biographical entries for major figures in American ornithology past and present.

With more than 1100 entries and over 100 photographs, maps and drawings, this alphabetical reference fill a longstanding gap in birdwatching literature; a unique and essential manual for anyone who uses a field guide.
