Covering an array of more than 45 species of geese, swans, and ducks, this dynamic poster will bring vibrant life to any wall. Reproduced in relative scale, multiple images of each species are shown—including the black-bellied whistling duck, the blue-winged teal, the surf scoter, and the long-tailed duck—to convey the differences in sizes and to make them identifiable in the wild. Birders, art-lovers, and naturalists alike will discover that this high-quality poster is a fine addition to any collection.

Praise for Sibley's Waterfowl of North America

"A beautiful, masterful, and much-needed work that will henceforth be our guide to North American trees." —Edward O. Wilson

“A wonderful companion volume to David Sibley’s superb bird books, with the same beautifully precise species illustrations and concise, clear descriptions and range maps–altogether an invaluable contribution to our nature literature.” –Peter Matthiessen, author of Shadow Country

“Unlike birds–the subject of David Sibley’s previous guide–trees of the same species can be different colors at different times of year, different sizes in different places, and even different shapes and sizes in the same place. I thought, therefore, that trees were so replete with variables that a field guide would be impossible. I hadn’t counted on Sibley’s genius with words and paint to turn the impossible into this brilliant, eminently useful, reality.” –Richard Ellis, author of Tuna: A Love Story
