 Stokes Field Guide to Birds March 18, 2008
After going to the beach and not knowing what a lot of the bird were called, then getting a reference from someone there to get this book. I'm glad that I did. My son earned a silver star by learning about quite a few birds that are listed in this book. I highly recommend this book.
 A pretty good bird book. September 19, 2007

This book has good images and descriptions but lacks something that Roger Tory Peterson has. It also has something Peterson lacks so I enjoy using both. My wife and I live on seven acres of Maryland farm-land and enjoy many birds that are described well in one book or the other, so we use both. The best part of the Stokes book is the CD of bird calls that goes with it. We have identified a couple birds that we wouldn't have been able to do without it.
Best bird book for the backyard birder July 2, 2007

This book packs more information on one page than any bird book that I own. It is easy to use and you know immediately if the bird is generally seen in your area by checking the map. I've given the book away on a number of occasions to new birders and experienced, alike.

We have half a dozen bird books on the shelf but Stokes is the field guide that is being tossed in the bag or kayak for bird identification.
Excellent Pictures March 31, 2007

This book is great. I would not consider myself a bird watcher but we have a bird feeder outside and it's interesting looking the birds up in the Stokes guide. The pictures are fantastic and it's good that it's only Eastern birds, so it makes it easier to identify the ones in my area.
Our kids really like it too and it makes it interesting to learn new facts. If you never realized what the visual differences are between male and female birds, it's worth it for that alone.
Get a bird feeder and get the Stokes guide, it's a great combination.
