A classic work of ornithology, originally published in 1961. It is in almost new, unmarked copy. It shows slight shelf wear. One copy available.

The book gives detailed information on the identification of species, sexes, ages, races, and forms of all the sparrows, towhees, juncos, buntings and longspurs, grassquits and seedeaters of North America. It also covers distribution, habits, habitats, molt, and voice. Particular attention is paid to the geographic variation found in many species and to comparisons with similar and confusing species.

Over 350 black-and-white photographs aid in the identification of all 64 taxa of Emberizine sparrows found in the region.
