Novice birders often distinguish birds by color and size. Sierra Birds: A Hiker's Guide is unique in that it assumes no prior birding knowledge on the part of the reader and is organized for quick and easy reference. Color-coded keys eliminate the time-consuming and frustrating necessity of having to thumb randomly through a hefty guide, hoping to stumble upon the right species before it disappears! A cross-index of bird families is also included for more advanced birders. All this in a format that is light-weight and small enough to tuck inside a pocket. Full color illustrations by author, John Muir Laws.
