A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 2 of 3

"A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 2 of 3" by Spencer Fullerton Baird is an old science book that explains different kinds of birds in North America, mostly the ones that live on land. It's like a guide that gives lots of information about these birds, like what they look like, where they live, and how they act. The book is made for people who study birds or just really like them, teaching about bird families, and it uses fancy science words and detailed pictures to help readers learn about each bird. It starts by talking about birds like Finches and Sparrows, explaining how they're different and where they fit in the bird family tree, setting the stage to explore the many unique qualities of birds later in the book.
