About this book
The descriptions group snipes, sandpipers, curlews and plovers as generally long-legged, slender-billed birds of shores and mud flats, sometimes found in fields. The account of birds of shores and mud flats says most are under a foot in length, with long, pointed wings and short tails. The family descriptions distinguish cranes with partly bare adult heads from courlans with wholly feathered heads and long, slender bills.
The White-winged Crossbill entry records crossed mandible tips and two white bars on the wings of both adult sexes. The female Rose-breasted Grosbeak is described with brown and black streaks above, blackish streaks below, a white line over the eye and two white wing-bars.
