Booklist
This tidy little book provides a nice introduction. Sparrows, those "little brown jobs," have always presented an identification challenge for birders. Earley describes the 26 species of eastern sparrows (along with the much easier to recognize finches). One way to distinguish sparrows is by their throat patterns, which are illustrated in a box on the upper left of each account. Well-chosen clear photographs accompany each species and will be of great assistance in distinguishing among the species. This book also covers western vagrant species and has a useful "cheat sheet" and comparison photos. This terrific primer will be welcomed in all eastern libraries. Nancy Bent
