 excellent book for the birder with a little experience January 7, 2008

I really enjoyed the way Kaufman grouped birds together according to type. If you know your birds a little then you can just go to the type and pick which one it looks most like. Also,there were photos of the bird in it's different plumages...male, female, juvenile, winter, summer, etc. and he showed pictures of different subspecies variations. The maps and graphs were thorough and easy to understand. Kenn took much of the confusion out of birding!

I own several birding field guides & this is my favorite. It is compact, user friendly & the pictures are excellent. I recently lost my copy. This purchase was a replacement.

we were replacing a golden field guide to birds that got dunked in the water....this one is great! Sturdy binding, good indexing, great pictures, I find it very easy to use. We enjoy identifying the birds around our home in Minnesota but are not "birdwatchers". I would recommend it highly.

Kaufman's book is beautifully organized and illustrated. The descriptions are brief as befits a book intended as a pocketable field guide but the salient points for identification are presented clearly. It is not absolutely complete for the sake of brevity but the species omitted are not very likely to be encountered. If needed a local area supplement could be used. It serves its purpose very well indeed.
