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.
