Inhaltsangabe:

Maynard Reece, an award-winning American artist renowned for his representations of birds flying, feeding, courting and nesting, brings to this book a lifetime's experience of sketching and painting birds in the prairies, mountains and deserts of North America. The book depicts more than 20 species of upland birds, including turkeys, quail, pheasants, partridges, grouse, ptarmigan, woodcock, snipe and doves, in their habitats throughout the seasons. Each of Reece's detailed paintings, watercolours, pencil drawings and lithographs evokes a particular scene, such as a covey of bobwhites exploding from cover, ring-necked pheasants speeding over a snowy cornfield, and ruffed grouse flushing through alders. The illustrations are complemented by the artist's descriptions, anecdotes and observations of bird behaviour.
