Excerpts from Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America
Click on each image below to see a larger view
| 
Colorful songbirds with heavy, seed-crushing bills, cardinals and grosbeaks are popular at feeders.
| 
In North America, the Orchard and Baltimore Orioles are fairly widespread in the East; Bullock's is widespread in the West; and the Spot-breasted Oriole is limited to South Florida.
| | 
Peterson sometimes painted over figures on a plate and sometimes even cut them out. Canyon Wren was missing from the original art. Michael O'Brien painted a new Canyon Wren for inclusion in the new field guide.
| 
The Orange Bishop is native to Africa but has been introduced in California. Peterson had not painted this bird for his field guides, so Michael O’Brien painted this one.
| | 
Thumbnail maps help you determine at a glance if a bird is likely to be in your region.
| 
Large maps in back give detailed range information.
