I bought this item as a gift for my disabled mother who spends here days looking out the windows at birds in her backyard. She's always looking them up and naming them. Now she can sit in the backyard and identify them by the sounds. She will love this.

The National Geographic fieldguide to the Birds of North America was the standard-bearer for fieldguides from the mid-eighties, when it replaced the Eastern and Western Peterson guides as the favorite among critical birders, until the release of David Sibley's guide in 2000. The Sibley guide brought many new innovations but was too large for field use and, absent any habitat setting, the drawings were not lively. Seeing little need for wholesale changes to keep pace with Sibley, recent editions of the National Geographic continental guide have offered just a few innovations. Likewise, the printing quality of the National Geographic continental guides was compromised in the 4th and 5th editions, with some drawings appearing duller than in earlier editions and a blue bleed on the wingbars ...

Well - I wrote an in-depth review and this site or IE lost it. So, here is the short version. Simply a new standard in birding field guides! Will absolutely replace all other field guides I might take with me out into the field while birding in NA. The new features are outstanding, useful, and thoughtfully designed. The construction quality of the book is outstanding. Paper and covers of high quality. Combines all the best features (and then some) from all the best field guides. Must buy!

The pictures and descriptions are outstanding. This book is a great start to learn about birds and how to identify them. It's also a painless way to learn some basic bird biology.

I've never been a bird watcher but while walking through a local park, a young boy and his grandmother were gazing up in a large tree and being curious, I stopped to see what they were looking at. To my amazement, only about 10 feet over our heads, was a beautiful hawk, just sitting there. He, or she, for I never found out, allowed us to ooo and ahh over him until we tired and left. It intrigued me, what kind of hawk was that? Or was it a hawk. All I knew is a few birds that it wasn't. On later walks I started noticing other birds and wanted to know more about them. I looked at bird books in the bookstore but they were filled with birds I'd never see here in the Los Angeles area. Then I saw an ad for this little book and was so pleased when I got it. I've identified many of the birds and now that ... Read More
