I look forward to seeing this book in person soon.
Meanwhile there are some nicely-done and very interesting plates shown for
several species at this site...

But hopefully the actual book does not make the several mistakes which are
currently at this website, including having mis-matching names and
photos/plates for several species, such as this "Black-crowned Night Heron"
plate which shows Cory's Shearwaters on the ocean instead (as of 7pm Feb
11th, but which might be corrected before you go to this link)!

Hopefully the author/publisher will correct that, plus Willet, Greater
Yellowlegs, etc. before too many people go to their website.
