5 out of 5 stars Great bird book for watchers of all ages!

I have used a version of this book since I was quite young. It has pictures of every bird in the US, has fairly accurate maps of where they can be found, compares birds to similar birds to help determine which one it is and gives characteristics of the birds. I've never understood the order of the book, but birds of a certain type are all together (all ducks are together, warblers are together, etc.). They also regularly update the names of birds that have changed (why do they change the names of birds?). I love this book and would recommend it to anyone wanting a book to take with them across the US.

5 out of 5 stars best field guide

This is the best field guide I have ever found. Have used it for over 30 years in the original form and new revised version is just as good.

3 out of 5 stars Great Content, Poorly Printed

I have an edition of this guide from the 1960s and I love it - great content and well organized. I purchased this edition as several taxonomic changes have occurred over the past several decades and I wanted an updated version. The difference in printing quality between the 1960s version and this version is dramatic, from the lighter paper stock to a weaker binding and washed-out images. The plates in the current version are faded, off-color facsimiles of the original and look awful in a side-by-side comparison. Overall, I would have expected the same quality in printing that helped me to fall in love with the earlier edition.

5 out of 5 stars Birds of North America

We have other books to help us identify birds , but this one is the best. It has excellent drawings, very clear descriptions and helpful hints to guide you when identifying distinctive markings of birds that look alike.

I recommend this book as the best of its kind. And the price is very reasonable too.

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Bird Books

The updates in this book are wonderful compared to the old version. The glossy pictures of the individual birds makes it much easier to find a bird you haven't seen before. I also like the updated summer-winter habitat maps. I think they are more accurate than in the old book.
