Bird Families of North America.

Hot off the presses, this new and up to date book that describes each of the 81 bird families of the United States and Canada, and uses more than 150 beautiful color photos as illustrations to take readers beyond merely identifying birds to understanding them. Written by acclaimed authors Pete Dunne and Kevin Karlson, and illustrated with Kevin’s superior photographs, Bird Families of North America focuses on bird families and their shared characteristics that makes bird identification easier than ever.

The “species by species” approach makes it difficult to appreciate birds for what they are: Members of well-organized groups of birds united by common biological traits. Many birders can tell the difference between a White-eyed Vireo and a Bell’s Vireo, but cannot begin to describe what a vireo is or what distinguishes members of this family from warblers or flycatchers. Putting the focus on bird families and their shared traits makes bird identification easier and more meaningful for all of us. This exciting new book is available in hardcover with 228 pages of information provided in an enjoyable style the distinguished authors are known for.
