"The sparrows and buntings offer a great identification challenge. Many are long-distance migrants, while others are rare and local. Although most male buntings acquire a bright plumage, many sparrows fit the description of "little brown bird" very well. Still, a closer look reveals intricate and often quite beautiful plumage details that will enable positive identification." "This book is the first comprehensive guide to all the sparrows and buntings of North America, as well as the buntings of Europe, Asia, and Africa, 110 species in all. The detailed, authoritative descriptions include not only the birds' identifying features but their natural history as well. The 39 color plates depict all the plumages of every species and race described. A range map is included for each species. This beautiful book will help solve the tricky identification problems posed by a delightful and diverse family of birds."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download Peterson Reference Guide To Sparrows of North America Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Sparrows are as complicated as they are common. This is an essential guide to identifying 76 kinds, along with a fascinating history of human interactions with them. What, exactly, is a sparrow? All birders (and many non-birders) have essentially the same mental image of a pelican, a duck, or a flamingo, and a guide dedicated to waxwings or kingfishers would need nothing more than a sketch and a single sentence to satisfactorily identify its subject. Sparrows are harder to pin down. This book covers one family (Passerellidae), which includes towhees and juncos, and 76 members of the sparrow clan. Birds have a human history, too, beginning with their significance to native cultures and continuing through their discovery by science, their taxonomic fortunes and misfortunes, and their prospects for survival in a world with ever less space for wild creatures. This book includes not just facts and measurements, but stories—of how birds got their names and how they were discovered—of their entanglement with human history.
