Description Exclusive offer: Order from my store, and you’ll receive a SIGNED COPY with a BONUS sticker of the Great Grey Owl from the cover of the book (not available elsewhere). Stickers and signed copies available while supplies last. Updated for the first time in twenty years, here is a classic and remarkably easy-to-use guide for identifying birds in the Sierra Nevada. What do you notice when you first see a bird? For most of us, it is color and size rather than by family, genus, and species. Inspired by this observation, I created a guide to Sierra birds that assumes no prior birding knowledge on the reader’s part. The guide became the most popular of its kind, used frequently by local birders and visitors alike. Now updated for the first time in twenty years, The Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds—originally published as Sierra Birds: A Hiker’s Guide—features fully redrawn color illustrations throughout. Color-coded keys eliminate the time-consuming frustration of thumbing randomly through a guide, and a cross-index is also included for more advanced birders. All this in a format that is simply organized, lightweight, and small enough to tuck inside a pocket. Featuring all new illustrations of more than 200 species, The Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds is a friendly, invaluable resource for anyone seeking to identify birds in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
