Portable Bird Identification Guide for New York State

New York State Birds is a laminated, 12-panel folding pocket guide designed for quick field identification of 140 common and familiar bird species found throughout the Empire State. This compact reference combines detailed illustrations with practical information, making it an essential tool for anyone exploring New York's diverse ecosystems.

Comprehensive Species Coverage

The guide features beautiful illustrations of 140 bird species commonly observed across New York State, from the state bird Eastern Bluebird to migrating warblers, vireos, flycatchers, tanagers, orioles, thrushes, and sparrows. With over 500 bird species documented in New York, this guide focuses on the most representative and frequently encountered birds, helping users build a solid foundation in bird identification.

Durable and Weather-Resistant Design

Laminated for durability and weather resistance, this lightweight folding guide withstands field conditions while remaining portable enough to carry in a pocket or backpack. The 12-panel format unfolds to provide extensive information while folding down to a compact size for easy storage and transport.

Bird-Finding Hotspots and Ecoregion Map

The guide includes an ecoregion map highlighting over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites throughout New York State. These locations span the state's diverse habitats, from Central Park in Manhattan—one of the Northeast's premier warbler migration sites—to the Finger Lakes region, an important overwintering area for waterfowl, and grasslands that support the Eastern Bluebird.

Strategic Location Along Atlantic Flyway

New York's position along the Atlantic Flyway makes it exceptional for observing bird migration, particularly raptors, shorebirds, and songbirds. This guide helps users identify species during peak migration periods and throughout the year, covering residents, migrants, and seasonal visitors.

Perfect for Multiple User Groups

Whether you're an educator teaching natural sciences, a student learning bird identification, a naturalist exploring ecosystems, or a birder sharpening identification skills, this guide serves as a reliable field companion. The clear illustrations and organized format make it accessible for beginners while remaining useful for experienced observers.

Made in the USA

Produced domestically, this field guide meets quality standards for educational and outdoor reference materials.
