 easy for beginner October 9, 2008
As a beginner bird spotter livin in NY I love this book. Its replacing an old book that only had cartoon drawings which made it impossible for me to figure out what I was really looking at. The pictures are beautiful & extremely helpful. Easy to use w/the color coded corners, good info on the species. This book isn't collecting dust on my shelf - I use it all the time.
Guesswork Without It June 22, 2008
Before getting this book it was always a debate whether we were looking at this species or that. Tekiela's book is an easy-to-use, well-organized hand-sized reference book that has it's own place near my porch where I like to photograph birds. This book is great as a photographer's reference.
The book many photos of both male and female with interesting facts about the birds other than just the standard stats. Excellent photography as well.
I use this one along with Tekiela's book on New York TreesTrees of New York Field Guide (Field Guides)
together they make a very handy, comprehensive reference collection.
 Great for beginners! May 14, 2008
New birdwatchers who'd like to know more about the birds they see in their area get a great introduction with this set. The book is relatively easy to use through a color coded system based on the prominent colors of the birds. One side of the page has a photograph and the other side has a basic description including things like the birds' feeding, nesting, and behavioral habits. The leatherbound set I purchased included two CDs of birdsong keyed to the book and vice-versa.
As my observation skills grew and I came to see some birds not portrayed in this guide, I opted to get a Sibley's Field Guide as well. Nevertheless, this set containing the CDs and book together these provided an excellent introduction to the most common birds of New York State.
Birds of New York Field Guide, Stan Tekiela May 8, 2008
This is a wonderful field guide for anyone that lives in the Northeast. The pictures are beautiful and the information is easy to understand. Stan Tekiela has made bird watching even better!
