For the birds of shore, marsh, and open sky, Reed made a companion volume. This guide covers the water birds, game birds, and birds of prey east of the Rockies, opening with the shapes and habits that place a bird in its order. Compact, illustrated, endlessly useful. Take it to the coast and name every wing overhead.

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.
