Synopsis
In this book, bursting with more information than any field guide could hold, the well-known author and birder Pete Dunne introduces readers to the Cape May School, or GISS, method of identification, which focuses on a bird holistically, giving more weight to the general impression of the bird than to specific field marks., In this book, bursting with more information than any field guide could hold, the well-known author and birder Pete Dunne introduces readers to the "Cape May School of Birding." It's an approach to identification that gives equal or more weight to a bird's structure and shape and the observer's overall impression (often called GISS, for General Impression of Size and Shape) than to specific field marks. After determining the most likely possibilities by considering such factors as habitat and season, the birder uses characteristics such as size, shape, color, behavior, flight pattern, and vocalizations to identify a bird. The book provides an arsenal of additional hints and helpful clues to guide a birder when, even after a review of a field guide, the identification still hangs in the balance. This supplement to field guides shares the knowledge and skills that expert birders bring to identification challenges. Birding should be an enjoyable pursuit for beginners and experts alike, and Pete Dunne combines a unique playfulness with the work of identification. Readers will delight in his nicknames for birds, from the Grinning Loon and Clearly the Bathtub Duck to Bronx Petrel and Chicken Garnished with a Slice of Mango and a Dollop of Raspberry Sherbet., In this book, bursting with more information than any field guide could hold, the well-known author and birder Pete Dunne introduces readers to the "Cape May School," or GISS, method of identification, which focuses on a bird holistically, giving more weight to the general impression of the bird than to specific field marks.

    I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.

    Sorry to have to return the book, but the listing appeared as if the 5 vol set of books was listed. I only received vol. 1. Requested a refund and seller sent return slip immediately and issued a complete refund. I would feel comfortable buying from this seller again.

    Book that was received had loose and missing pages and fell short of the described condition. Seller responded quickly to this concern and the suggested resolution was much better than hoped for. This was clearly an honest mistake and I highly recommend this seller as honest and professional. A++ seller!
