A field guide to mesozoic birds and other winged dinosaurs

Acknowledgments
This book would not have been made possible without huge
amounts of data, reference material, support and inspiration. I especially
need to thank:
John Conway, for his part in initializing this project, and for the inspiration
to broaden its scope to cover all Mesozoic birds.
Mickey Mortimer, whose Theropod Database provided invaluable summaries
of available data.
Scott Hartman, Jaime Headden, Ville Sinkkonen, and other artists whose
detailed skeletal restorations provided wonderful reference material for
some of my restorations.
Roger Torey Peterson, whose Field Guide and Identification System provided
the inspiration for the format of this and many other guides to bird
identification.
All illustrations created using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Illustrator
