BIRD SPECIES
OBSERVED IN CALIFORNIA
The color illustrations
emphasize the adult male bird in breeding season but may also show females
and immatures. Their coloration may
be duller or absent at different times of the year. Measurements are the average length from bill to tip of
tail. Images were redrawn and or
modified from originals found in the literature, with the painter or
photographer of the model being noted after each file name. John James
Audubon paintings are especially stressed (see AUDUBON). [Bird
