   BIRD SPECIES OBSERVED IN NORTH AMERICA AND
  CALIFORNIA 
    
          The color illustrations
  emphasize the adult male bird in breeding season but may also show females
  and immatures.  Their coloration may
  be duller or absent at different times of the year.  Measurements are the average length from bill to tip of
  tail.  Images were redrawn and or
  modified from originals found in the literature, with the painter or
  photographer of the model being noted after each file name. John James Audubon and A. & S.
  Menaboni paintings are especially stressed (see AUDUBON).
