Inspired by his observation, he created a guide to Sierra birds that assumes no prior birding knowledge on the part of the reader. The guide became the most popular of its kind, used frequently by local birders and visitors alike. Now updated for the first time in twenty years, \u003ci\u003eThe Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds\u003c\/i\u003e--originally published as \u003ci\u003eSierra Birds: A Hiker's Guide\u003c\/i\u003e--features fully redrawn color illustrations throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColor-coded keys eliminate the time-consuming frustration of thumbing randomly through a guide, and a cross-index is also included for more advanced birders. All this in a format that is simply organized, lightweight, and small enough to tuck inside a pocket. Featuring more than 200 species, \u003ci\u003eThe Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds\u003c\/i\u003e is a friendly, invaluable resource for anyone seeking to identify birds in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Muir Laws\u003c\/b\u003e is a naturalist, educator, and artist with degrees in conservation and resource studies, wildlife biology, and scientific illustration.
