SynopsisA Surer, Faster, Easier Way to Identify Birds At last, a guide that successfully organizes birds by field-recognizable features for quick identification. For lack of a better method, bird guides have traditionally placed birds in evolutionary sequence, resulting in birding's classic Catch-22 -- you must recognize an unknown bird and know its place in the sequence before you can took it up! All the Birds arranges species by their feeding adaptations -- features that are easily observed. How a bird feeds largely determines its form. It's nature's way of organizing species to fit ecological niches. The powerful bills and tree-climbing habits of woodpeckers, for instance, are prominent feeding adaptations. Recognizing birds' adaptations for feeding is the natural, no-nonsense way to identify; learn, and understand them., A Surer, Faster, Easier Way to Identify Birds At last, a guide that successfully organizes birds by field-recognizable features for quick identification.

Birds Organized by Appearance
This guide book successfully organized birds by field-recognizable features which allows for quick identification. For lake of a better method, previous bird guides have traditionally placed birds in scientific naming classification sequencing, (ie: Order, Family, Genus, Species), resulting in a classic Birder's Dilemma: You have to recognize the bird before you can look it up in the guide. This guide, however, endeavors to arrange the bird species in a classification according to their feeding, size, habitat and etc. I have found that by doing the arranging this way helps to determine the type of bird it is and where it fits in to the creation as a whole. The only thing that this book lacks is the scientific naming sequencing. It has the Genus and Species with each bird, but if it would have included the Order and Family, this would have been more helpful, making this book even better and it would have gotten a five star from me.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
