Can American dippers stay under water for as long as half a minute? Why does the golden eagle have feathered legs while the bald eagle's legs are bare?

Whether you are a budding bird-watcher hoping to find species in woodlands or someone curious about the feathered visitors in your own backyard, you can look for answers to all these questions and more in this pocket-size guide to many of the birds in North America. From the common robin to the elusive California condor, the North American continent is home to a rich variety of bird species, which number at more than 2,000.
