 An extremely useful book for general information September 21, 1998
Kenn Kaufmann has provided a nice, highly readable, first place to look for general information on any North American bird. The information provided is somewhat more extensive, in most cases, than can be found in similar Birder's Handbook by Ehrlich, Dobkin, and Wheye. Unfortunately, however, Kaufmann omitted notes and bibilographical information (which were included in the Birder's Handbook). Had the bibliographical information been included, this book would easily have rated 5 stars. As it is, the reader is frustrated in the search for more detailed information. I should also mention that the visual presentation of this book is nothing short of first class. Although not a book of fine-art photography, it is nonetheless an aesthetically pleasing volume printed on high-quality paper.
