This bulletin deals with the Order Passeriformes, specifically the Families of Sittidae (Nuthatches) ; Certhiidae (Creepers) ; Chamaeidae (Wren-tits) ; Cinclidae (Dippers) ; Troglodytidae (Wrens) ; and Mimidae (Mockingbirds and thrashers) of North America.

Coots, bitterns, rails, crakes, cranes, herons, egrets, many others. 180 photographs.

This generously illustrated, easy-to-use reference gives instant information on 238 birds that are native to New York State. The core of the atlas is a series of accounts of each species, each account including a distribution map with possible, probable, or confirmed breeding. Facing each map is an explanatory page of text that covers a number of topics: abundance, historical and current distirbution, habitat, and nest description and location. On the same page is an illustration of the bird, often with its nest and young.
