The following text is from the back cover:

Naming the Birds at a Glance employs a "sight method" that has clear advantages over the average field guide: * It will lead to identification no matter what characteristic of a bird you may notice first. * It will refer you to a picture and description of your bird on the same page (or near it) as the other species with which you might confuse it, thus making identification by elimination part of the system. * The system ends for all time the always frustrating and often unsuccessful method of thumbing through a guidebook after the bird has flown and your mental picture out has escaped you. Both beginners and veteran birdwatchers will be well satisfied with this easy-to-use and comprehensive guide to the eastern land birds.
