The identification of Empidonax flycatchers and pewees can be a daunting challenge for even the most seasoned birder. “Field Guide to North American Flycatchers” takes bird identification to an entirely new level by training readers to observe subtle differences in structure, color patterns, and vocalizations before delving into the finer details of a particular species. Because the plumages of flycatchers are so similar, this one-of-a-kind guide uses illustrations that highlight slight variances among species that photos often miss.
