520    In this book, bursting with more information than any 
       field guide could hold, author and birder Pete Dunne 
       introduces readers to the "Cape May School of Birding," an
       approach to identification that gives equal or more weight
       to a bird's structure and shape and the observer's overall
       impression (often called GISS, for General Impression of 
       Size and Shape) than to specific field marks. After 
       determining the most likely possibilities by considering 
       such factors as habitat and season, the birder uses 
       characteristics such as size, shape, color, behavior, 
       flight pattern, and vocalizations to identify a bird. The 
       book provides an arsenal of additional hints and helpful 
       clues. This supplement to field guides shares the 
       knowledge and skills that expert birders bring to 
       identification challenges. Birding should be an enjoyable 
       pursuit for beginners and experts alike, and Dunne 
       combines playfulness with the work of identification.--
