The gold standard of birding field guides, 2008-04-07
If you start with this guide, you probably will never need another. Color illustrations, rather than photos, accurately illustrate the ideal image of the various birds, making specific note of the pertinent details. Birds are grouped by type for easy identification, and indexed in the back by common and Latin names.

not useful in the field, 2008-02-14
Not very useful in the field and in fact there are many species that aren't listed. The worst part of this book is the cross reference indexes.

The best just got better!, 2007-12-12
This has always been the reliable and preferred reference for my wife and I. We have worn out two of the paperback version over many years of use. Now, with the revised arrangement of the book it is even easier to use and may cause it to wear out prematurely due to overuse. I might have to buy another so we can both refer to our own copy at the same time.

Field Guide To Western Birds, 2007-09-27

The book is excellent in most respect. But like all of these types it doesn't provide much help in actually identifying a bird. You can't go from "small-brown-stripes on side-purple head-green feet-S. Az area to Pages xxx & xxx for the types.
