 Accurate illustrations, 60 in all, of common birds like the Black-Capped Chickadee, and not-so-common birds like the Ruby-Crowned Kinglet. Illustrations are in black and white, and only a handful of color examples are given, so you'll have to do your own research to make sure you don't choose Indigo Bunting colors for your Rufous-Sided Towhee. All of them are captioned so you know who's who, and they are depicted in their natural surroundings, in characteristic poses.
