Douglas Dewar
147 pages~2 hr 56 min read169 chapters$4.99
How do you name a bird on the plains of India when you only glimpse its bill or the length of its legs? Douglas Dewar builds a key from crests, feet, and Hindustani names, sorting the common birds by what the eye can actually catch. A field companion for the veranda and the road. Start recognizing your neighbors on the wing.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
