This charming collection of 35 watercolors by George Miksch Sutton, one of the best-known and most beloved bird artists of the 20th century, is culled from his originals housed in the MuseumÆs library. Enlightening commentary by noted ornithologist Paul A. Johnsgard provides rich detail on the habits and habitats of the 19 North American species depicted. He also includes many recommendations on further reading. The Field Museum's Library Curator, Benjamin W. Williams, provides the foreword, noting that many paintings are reproduced here for the first time.
