Bird Watcher's Life List & Diary

This is the essential companion to your field guide – whether you’re a serious or casual birder. Each North American species is listed by common and scientific name, and cross-referenced to its description in three popular field guides. Space is provided to record when and where a specimen was sighted, along with other essential notes. Silhouettes in the margin key the sections containing each bird Order. Each species is also indexed by common and scientific name. Bernard A.

He has written numerous articles on natural history topics for magazines and newspapers, and has led wildlife tours in the Arctic, Africa, South America and the Galapagos.
