Since 1986 the cover of Bird Observer has featured original black-and-white art created by some of the top artists in the field, including Paul Donahue, Charlie Harper, David Sibley, John Sill, Barry Van Dusen, Julie Zickefoose, and 16 others.

Sketches of New England Birds is a compendium of this collection, featuring over 100 different species, each with accompanying text by William E. Davis, Jr. Along with each illustration there is a brief account describing the bird, its breeding biology, behavior, range, and conservation status. This handsome book (262 pages, 5½ x 8½), with its color cover showing Ikki Matsumoto’s bold silkscreen of a Double-crested Cormorant, is the ideal gift for the birder in your family.
