A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 2 of 3
Spencer Fullerton Baird and others
The great survey moves into the finches, larks, and blackbirds, on through the orioles, crows, and tyrant flycatchers. Spencer Baird's second volume catalogs the familiar songbirds and jays of North America with meticulous detail and range. A cornerstone of nineteenth-century ornithology. The middle volume where the backyard birds get their due.
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.
