Product Description
"Once in a great while, a natural history book changes the way people look at the world." Thus begins the New York Times superlative essay on The Sibley Guide to Birds.
Written and illustrated by David Allen Sibley, who has been compulsively watching and drawing birds since he was 7, the guide - and now the calendar - shows and describes birds with a level of detail never before attempted. Each month covers one bird (or two closely related birds) in beautifully detailed, jewel-like paintings, and includes a description of habit, habitat, and voice, as well as maps showing the birds distribution. More information about birds is included on the small grid below. In all, a year of exquisite birding.
