Species accounts are given fo over 400 birds seen in the state, covering current status, distribution, history, habitat, seasonal occurrence, and general North American (or world-wide) breeding and wintering ranges. The 220 species which nest in the state are depicted in 115 full-page colour paintings.
"...a masterwork. Every state should have such an excellent survey of its bird life as a contribution to science and public enlightenment and pleasure." Roger Tory Peterson.
