Too big and bulky for the page content and illustration sizes. Some songs questionable. Not regional enough for me. Best donated to a nature center or library.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's a famous conundrum, but a bogus one; the mutation that created the genus Gallus induced a chicken to hatch from an egg laid by a bird not quite of that taxon. Of course, it was the egg that came first. An understanding of eggs is prerequisite to a true comprehension of the birds they deliver. Much of our modern knowledge of bird eggs, and the diverse nests that harbor them, is based on the work of egg-collectors (oologists) from a century or more ago. At the height of its popularity, commercial and otherwise irresponsible egg collecting tarnished oology's image, but its scientific value persists and cannot be underestimated. A staggering database survives in the form of well-tended egg collections, including those of the British Museum, the Smithsonian ... Read More

6.The Backyard Birdsong Guide: Eastern and Central North America (Backyard Birdsong Guides) by: Donald Kroodsma April 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.47
Any home library strong in field guides probably has more than one bird book; but this is something different, offering an interactive format in audio word as well as written language and visual images. Some seventy unique birds from Eastern North America are featured in a book which offers one-touch buttons of digital audios to pair with descriptions of songs, calls and behaviors. Home birders who want to identify by more than pictures will find this an easy, appealing guide with a difference. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

This is an outstanding field guide, easy to use and understand.I live in the mountains of western North Carolina and many species of birds migrate through here and also there are many year round species that I have identified with this bird guide. I highly recommend this guide if your looking for a bird field guide that is easy to tote in the field for a quick reference for any unusual birds you may want info on readily.

Nice book, I purchased it on the reviews of others. I have not regretted it. I got it for some information, and found I was using it for other items.

I am just starting out birding, so this is my first field guide. But as I was picking out which guide to purchase, I quickly realized this was the one to go with. The features that make this guide superior are: actual photos (not drawings), multiple images (juvenile, adult, male/female, multiple color morphs, subspecies, in flight, or anything that helps in ID). And the main thing I liked is that all the text info is on the same pages as the photos (unlike the audobon society guide which forces you to do a lot of page flipping and finding). It may be slightly larger than other field guides, but definitely not a hindrance. And the abundance of pics and info makes up for the size. The DVD w/ mp3 files are great, but I would not buy the book simply for the DVD of bird songs. -I actually did not realize ... Read More
