Sibley's Birds of the California Coast FoldingGuide

Written and illustrated by David Allen Sibley, one of America’s foremost bird illustrators and ornithologists, this folding guide offers essential information for coastal birdwatchers along the California coastline. Covering 56 waterbird species—including shorebirds, gulls, terns, wading birds, ducks, geese, swans, loons, and more—the guide draws from the award-winning The Sibley Guide to Birds, 2nd Edition. Each species entry features a descriptive caption, size details, precise range maps, seasonal occurrence data, and carefully crafted illustrations that facilitate accurate identification. The compact six-panel fold-out format (each panel measuring 4″ x 9″) is designed for practical use in the field, fitting easily into a backpack, glove compartment, or on a kitchen table. Its indestructible, waterproof lamination ensures durability and resistance to coastal weather conditions, providing instant, reliable access to key birding information. This guide is an indispensable resource for both casual observers and expert ornithologists studying California’s rich and diverse coastal avifauna.
