Summary: The Best of Bird Books 2010-03-10
Comment: 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.

Summary: Birds Of North America 2010-02-07
Comment: I had lost my good old standby, and oredered 2 books as a replacement. This book is almost identical to my old one, so I love it. It is simple to use, and easy to understand.

Summary: Disappointing but still useful 2009-11-19
Comment: I regretted replacing my old 1966 Birds of No Amer book which has held up and served me well.
Surely, it was time for a replacement, but I am disappointed. The light print of the range maps makes them very difficult to read. Extension of the page text and photos up to the binding makes me skeptical that the binding will hold up to the stress needed to fully open the pages. Also, I really miss the check boxes in the Index.
The new version is certainly more convenient to carry around than the superior but much larger and heavier Sibley book. So I still rely on this book when birding, but the publisher should have done much better.

Summary: The best 2009-11-07
Comment: We find this to be the best bird book for backyard birding.
The drawn pictures allow more detail than those with actual
pictures of the birds. Using both is best. Item shipped
quickly.

Summary: Best Field Guide 2009-10-18
Comment: This is a great, if not the best, field guide for birds. All of the information, description, range and call on on the left hand page with the plates on the right. There is no need to flip back and forth between pages. The plates are excellent but unfortunately, do not point out the field marks as does Peterson's.
