Excellent combination of reference work and guide book March 15, 2004
I like this book book very much for its completeness (at least at the species level, but subspecies are discussed in the text), the combination of drawings and photographs, and the extensive information. In my opinion, drawings are much more useful for identification than photographs, and are therefore a must in a field guide, but it helps a lot when this is complemented with a few good photographs. Detailed distribution maps as well as information on behavior are very helpful in the identification process. Because of the extensive information, the book is an identification guide and a reference book at the same time. Despite the number of pages, the size is still sufficiciently practical for a field guide.
