Includes Backyard Birds of North America, Avian Raptors, Parrots, and Gamebirds & Fowl: four content intensive posters featuring birds.

• A201 Backyard Birds of North America - What's that strange bird flying around your backyard? This poster will help you find out. Beautifully detailed illustrations show the most widespread backyard birds of North America. Males and females of many species have different markings and/or coloration. In such cases, both are shown.
• A202 Avian Raptors - It is well established that modern birds are the last living descendants of the dinosaurs. This poster provides a comprehensive overview of the most dinosaur-like birds, the birds of prey. Magnificent illustrations show hawks, eagles, falcons, buzzards, vultures, owls, and the single harrier species. Each group has an introductory caption that summarizes its unique characteristics. Each bird is identified by both its common and scientific names. Whenever possible, North American species are shown. Great care went into selecting the flight poses, as they reflect the hunting style of each bird.
• A204 Parrots - The Psittaciformes - Parrots are birds that have a strongly curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet. The newly defined clade contains the same birds as the former Psittaciformes order. There are around 350 species. They include the true parrots, cockatoos, love-birds, and parakeets. Many of these birds are popular pets due to their sociable nature, high intelligence, bright colors, playful antics, and ability to imitate human voices. This poster shows representatives from all the families, a great many of the most popular pets, and even the now-extinct Carolina Parakeet, the only parrot known to have been native to North America.
• A206 Gamebirds & Fowl - The Galliformes - This is an order or clade of heavy-bodied, ground-feeding birds. It includes turkey, grouse, chicken, quail, ptarmigan, partridge, and pheasant. There are around 290 species. All are skilled runners that can fly only a few hundred feet when escaping danger. Because of this limitation, they do not migrate. Males often have elaborate courtship behaviors that include strutting, fluffing of tail or head feathers, and vocal sounds. Many species are raised as gamebirds by humans for their meat and eggs. Others are the target of recreational hunting. This has led to their common names of game fowl and gamebirds. They are also called land fowl to distinguish them from ducks, geese, and other waterfowl.
