Description
New Jersey is home or a stop-over for hundreds of species of birds, from the state bird, the American Goldfinch, to the migratory flocks that touch down at Cape May. The Compact Guide to New Jersey Birds is an easy-to-use field guide that will help even the novice birder identifiy the species spied in backyards and along wilderness trails. Over 80 different birds are featured, complete with color illustrations, photographs of eggs and extensive natural history.
