5 out of 5 stars Birds of Eastern and Central North America   July 13, 2008
Contains detailed information and pictures. Also includes a section of range maps outlining the range of each species during each season. Very interesting!


5 out of 5 stars A must for Bird watching   June 9, 2008
If you like to watch birds - even from your window - this is a must have!!!


2 out of 5 stars Overtaken by the competition!   June 5, 2008

Great in its day but now far surpassed by the Sibley guides. The females of the species tend to be the tricky ones to identify so in a field guide why oh why hide them behind the males so that the features can't be seen in the plates.

A great guide 30 years ago but it is time to move on...



5 out of 5 stars Simply The Best   June 4, 2008
The Peterson Series is clearly the best. Other books may have quality real life pictures, but in the field our friends seldom look just like the pictures and we don't have time to view. So knowing the key markings makes it much easier and faster to identify the birds.

Excellent service from Amazon as well.



5 out of 5 stars AS EXPECTED   May 27, 2008
THIS BIRD BOOK IS AS I EXPECTED. HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE IT MUCH AS YET.
