A Field Guide To Birds Animals Paperback Book by Roger Tory Peterson 1947

Roger Tory Peterson's A FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS has introduced a whole generation of North Americans to the pleasure of bird-watching. More than a million copies are in print. 

Simple, convenient, complete, this guide emphasizes the characteristics of birds when seen at a distance. 

It uses Mr. Peterson's world-famous system of identification, which is based on comparisons between the birds and the drawings and paintings in the book where key field marks are indicated by arrows.
