 Not comprehensive enough April 17, 2008
On a recent trip to Arizona I got this guide because the National Geographic guide to birds of North America is so good and thought the excellence would carry through the line. This might be a good supplemental guide if you have another reference and want something small to carry in your car but of the first three species I tried to identify two weren't included here. I ended up getting the Kaufman Guide to Birds of North America because I didn't own a copy and it had the birds I was trying to identify.
There are some pretty photographs but few variations are illustrated and it just isn't complete enough for me.
 Not comprehensive, but nicely done. September 13, 2006

Be aware that this is not a comprehensive guide to every bird you'd find in AZ and NM. However, if you want most of them, this is a handy, pocket-sized guide (4x6 inches) with nice photos. The layout provides two facing pages per species -- a photo on the left and description/text on the right. Every text page has a color-coded map showing EXACTLY where the bird is found and in what season. Many pages also have a small inset photo (at the bottom of the page) of a similar-looking bird, with a short note about it.
