Ive found them very handy in the field because they give a lot of information for their size.The Golden State is the permanent or migratory home of 644 species of birds, including the state bird: the teardrop, top-knotted California quail. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar and unique species and includes an ecoregion map featuring prominent bird-viewing areas.
