 Great for field identification May 11, 2008
This bird guide is in the typical Peterson style: good sketches of the birds with arrows pointing to key features which will help the field researcher/student distinguish one bird from other similar birds. It also gives information such as range for each bird plus a couple interesting facts. I'm using this book for a field biology class in college and have found it very useful.
excellent field guide March 15, 2008
This was a spare copy for me since it is so indispensable. One in car or golf bag or when going fishing and one at home near where we look at birds at the feeder. Has excellent pictures, concise descriptions and migration maps at the back. And it is small and light enough to carry when you go birding! If you are a beginner birdwatcher, look no further! this is a great book. There is also (obviously)a similar book for western birds!
 Far overrated February 16, 2008

This guide is OK, but it doesn't have anything the National Geographic or Sibley guide doesn't have. The range maps are substandard.
Great Bird Information for Novic November 15, 2007
I purchased one for our home and then two more for gifts. They enjoyed also. If you have birds at your feeders or in your yard you will find those birds for identification. It is better than the other bird identification books I have seen for the home.
better then the audabon September 30, 2007
The North Carolina bird watcher's assoc. said it was about the best and I believe they are right.
