The Birds of Ohio and The Birds of Illinois are both magnificently illustrated by William Zimmerman (Wildfowl of North America). Zimmermann's work has frequently been compared to Audubon's. But in place of Audubon's romanticism, Zimmerman offers greater technical skill; his "comfortable" birds appear to be on the verge of taking wing from the page. These are splendid works--fine paintings and an authoritative text. They hold the promise of attaining collector status (and value). Every collection with a birding interest should acquire immediately (a pre-publication price ($49.95) is offered through 1989. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Excerpt from The Birds of Ohio: A Complete Scientific and Popular Description of the 320 Species of Birds Found in the State The order of treatment is substantially the opposite of the one now followed by the American Ornithologists' Union, and is justifiable princi pally 011 the ground that it follows a certain order of interest and convenience. Beginning, as it does, with the supposedly highest forms of bird - life, it brings to the fore the most familiar birds, and avoids that rude juxtaposition of the lowest form of one group and the highest of the one above it, which is the confessed weakness of the A. O. U. Code. The summaries under the caption General Range are chiefly those furnished by the Second Edition of the A. O. U. Check-list, modified by such more recent information as has come to hand.
