A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 1 of 3
T. M. Brewer and Robert Ridgway Spencer Fullerton Baird
The foundational survey of America's land birds opens with the thrushes and their song. Spencer Baird and his collaborators describe family after family, from dippers in mountain streams to the titmice of the winter woods, with the authority that built American ornithology. Volume one of a landmark trio. The reference that taught a continent to name its birds.
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.
