great book
| Customer Rating: | | this book was recommended to me as a beginner backyard bird watcher. the drawings are so accurate it is easy to identify the birds quickly. enjoying it and the birds that visit. highly recommend. |
Subpar
| Customer Rating: | This guide is not very good. The pictures are fuzzy, like the editors photocopied them into the book. The range maps do not show state lines, which can be endlessly frustrating - particularly if you live in the continent's interior, as I do. I suppose there is only one advantage to the maps: the lack of state lines forces the reader to be, perhaps, generous with their estimation of the bird's range; this encourages the interpretation of birds' ranges as being flexible (which they are).
As another reviewer commented, why spend the money for an inferior guide when you can spend a similar amount of money on an outstanding guide? |
Dependable information
| Customer Rating: | I had used an earlier version of this book for years. The pages were literally falling out. I was delighted to get an updated edition. Especially useful are the color illustrations.
If there were one thing I would add to this directory, it would be an index by color. Sometimes I see an unfamiliar bird and it would be handy to look in the back and see an index of birds by the dominant feather color.
Of all the bird books I have used/seen,I prefer this one and find it the most user friendly. |
Best Bird Book Ever
| Customer Rating: | | This Bird Book is the best book on identification of birds I have ever used. It is comprehensive, and the photos are extremely accurate. I have used it for years and no other bird book comes close to how accurate it is. This book has every possible variety of each type of bird and photos so that you can easily identify them. I have been a birder for over 10 years and this is my Bible. |
Excellent gift for a friend
