This guide serves as a practical resource to help enthusiasts and budding ornithologists quickly identify common birds in India through visual cues rather than technical descriptions. Dewar aims to provide a clear classification system based on colors, features, and habits of the birds, making it accessible for general readers interested in avian life. The opening of this work provides insight into Dewar's motivation and method for composing the guide. He shares his experiences while working in India, highlighting the challenges he faced and the reasons for the delay in its publication. Dewar explains that many existing ornithological works presuppose the reader has access to specimens to examine closely, which does not align with the needs of casual observers. As a solution, he outlines a key-based approach that allows users to identify birds by their appearance and behavior, thus making birdwatching a more immediate and rewarding experience. The prefaces lay the groundwork for a complete field guide that combines practicality with a personal touch reflecting Dewar's passion for birdwatching.
