This first volume covers all the passerines (perching birds, from tyrant flycatchers to buntings) or songbirds and will soon be followed by a companion guide to the nonpasserines (divers to woodpeckers). These volumes are the first and only field guides for many parts of the area covered, and mark the first time all of these birds have been included in a single pair of books.
This first volume covers every passerine species and subspecies in the area, in every adult plumageall illustrated and described by Norman Arlott, a leading bird artist who has many years of field experience with these species.
