The Green Book of Birds of America
notes: label: Description
content: This small book entitled "The Green Book of Birds of America" is one of the references that Mr. Oka used to carve his birds. Many of the pictures found in this book have a real life copy created by Mr. Oka's hand. He would try to mirror the position of the bird, the color, and the shape. Pictures found in books like this and the Audubon identification cards were the only points of reference he had.
