A richly illustrated, portable field guide to flycatcher
identification The identification of Empidonax flycatchers and
pewees can be a daunting challenge for even the most seasoned
birder. Field Guide to North American Flycatchers takes bird
identification to an entirely new level by training readers to
observe subtle differences in structure, color patterns, and
vocalizations before delving into the finer details of a particular
species. Because the plumages of flycatchers are so similar, this
one-of-a-kind guide uses illustrations that highlight slight
variances among species that photos often miss. One of the last
frontiers of bird identification is now accessible to
everyone—once one knows what to look for. Uses a holistic
approach that makes flycatcher identification possible even for
beginners Features a wealth of beautiful illustrations that depict
every species in North America Shows how to observe subtle
differences in structure, plumage contrasts, and vocalizations,
which together create a distinctive overall impression of the bird
Includes detailed audio spectrograms and seasonal distribution maps
for each species Shares invaluable tips for successful
identification in all kinds of field settings Its compact size and
field-friendly layout make it the ideal travel companion for any
birder
