New Book: Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America, Second Edition

Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America, Second EditionPeterson Field Guide to Birds of North America, Second Edition
by Roger Tory Peterson

From Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:

For decades, the Peterson Field Guide to Birds has been a popular and trusted guide for birders of all levels, thanks to its famous system of identification and unparalleled illustrations. Since the American Birding Association has expanded its species Checklist to include Hawaii, the Peterson Field Guide now includes the wonderful and exotic species of our fiftieth state. In addition, the text and range maps have been updated, and much of the art has been touched up to reflect current knowledge.

 

This is the second edition of the “Big Peterson”, covering the entire continent (well, the ABA Area to be specific). This one actually does cover the entire area, as it now includes a 50-page section on the Birds of Hawaii.

I’ll be posting a detailed comparison between the two editions soon.
