The first and most distinctive birding field guides
For more than 65 years Peterson Field Guides® have set the standard by which other field guides are measured. Comprehensive and authoritative, they are essential additions to any naturalist’s bookshelf or backpack.
Roger Tory Peterson, one of the world’s greatest naturalists, spent his life studying, painting, and photographing birds. The Peterson Identification System has been called the greatest invention since binoculars, and the Peterson Field Guide Series® is credited with helping to set the stage for the environmental movement.
Briefly, the Peterson Identification System was created by Peterson in 1934 for his first field guide to provide quick, easy identification of birds in the field by observers. It is based on clear illustrations of similar birds with important distinguishing field marks indicated. The birds are arranged in a system of visual categories based largely on their observable traits. 2009 marks the 75th Anniversary of the publication of this beautifully illustrated, important work.
