Finches
and Sparrows: An Identification Guide
This is not a guide to raising finches or sparrows. Rather
it is a comprehensive description, listing, and illustration of every
classification of Finch and Sparrow. The color illustrations (plates) of
each of the 290 species are amazing. It helps when you are trying to
figure-out the difference between (for instance) these two waxbills.
