The Peterson Identification System Roger Tory Peterson's unique system shows exactly what features to look for to tell one species from another.

Ease of Use Peterson Field Guides are designed to work in the field, and every illustration, every word, is directed to that end.

The Authors and Illustrators For each Field Guide, an author with expertise in the subject and an experienced artist worked closely with the editors to ensure that both text and illustrations are accurate.

All the birds of Texas and most of those found in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are illustrated here in 60 plates that show key features. Descriptions of 542 species, silhouettes, and comparisons of similar species help with accurate identification.
