3 out of 5 stars Nice Book, Nice Pictures, Nice Tourist Souvenir   June 4, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book was created to fill a niche in Gift Shops more than to be a field guide for Alaskan Birds. It is nicely laid out and well illustrated, but it is just something of an abridged version of Robert Armstrong's Birds of Alaska. If you are a birder and are looking for a book about Birds of Alaska, get the full version. But see my review of that book before buying it. I recommend getting Birds of Alaska, but not as the only field guide you take with you.

I'm not knocking this book, it is nice, but not complete enough to satisfy serious birders.

This is another one of those field guides which list too few species and doesn't give enough information about them to be of much practical use. We tried using it in the field on a trip to SE Alaska and found it useless. If you need a field guide, get a comprehensive one.
