 Great for all birders, from beginning to experienced. November 9, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
You can't go wrong when you take this book on a hike. Crisp, clean pictures and enough detail in the habit descriptions that even if you can't get a good look at the bird, you may identify it by its habits. Highly recommended!
A Must have for any real birder. October 14, 1999

This book provides bird watchers with an excellent guide to almost every bird found in the Eastern half of the US. The quick index and color tabs make finding the right page easy for most birders, and the introduction provides the information an inexperienced birder needs to learn how to use this book. The photographs are mostly excellent and show most of the important field marks. Immature, female, and non-breeding season plummage pictures are provided for many birds, and a wonderful description of the bird's plummage is always included. The maps, although sometimes inaccurate (as I've found with most guides) are easy to read. The addition of shading for migration routes would help, but could be confusing for some birders. The learning pages provide an excellent comparison of similar species; especially useful for sparrows and warblers. I would reccomend purchasing Peterson's guide in addition to this, but if you can only buy one, this is the one I'd buy. Keep in mind that every person is different, and will benifit from different organizations of species. Purchase the book you think will suit your preferences best.

What a thrill this book is. It has great color photos of males, females, adults, immature birds and seasonal shots. Very easy to use with the color coded sections and a wealth of information regarding feeding, nesting, behavior and more. I was extremely pleased with this book and look forward to purchasing more from Donald & Lillian Stokes.

I found this book to be an excellent resource for birds in Wisconsin. With its companion CD they make a wonderful resource and have helped me identify many of the birds in my area.
 One of the best field guides. April 27, 1999
This is definately a field guide that every birder should own. It's easy to use and offers great information on the different species of birds. The photographs are also good.
