It is generally designed to be brought into the 'field' or local area where such objects exist to help distinguish between similar objects. Field guides are often designed to help users distinguish animals and plants that may be similar in appearance but are not necessarily closely related.[from wikipedia]

Usually wooden, though some for birds are made from a mixture of wood and concrete.
