I use this beautiful and accurate book along with the guide to western birds in the Midwest for a complete reference. ( )

A very well-done book that will provide endless joy over the course of your life. This is what opened my eyes to the world of birds. I'll never look back. ( )

2 copies. Give one to Tricia & Corbett Got another one for the kids. Keep at house.

A guidebook certainly to find its lofty place within my other treasures. My good friend in Florida remarked yesterday, "Birds offer free entertainment", and I could not agree more. A little late in life for me to find a new interest in identifying birds, but owning a cabin in northern Michigan and a small house near the Indian River estuary here in Melbourne provides ample opportunities for a budding familiarity. Filled with detailed information and illustrations, this book should offer years of delight and even wonder, I suppose. ( )

This is the book I go back to over and over again to identify birds. The drawings show birds in profile, with additional drawings of birds in flight when the species warrants such drawings (hawks, eagles, etc.).
