chrisharpe recommends Frontiers of Bird Identification by J. T. R. Sharrock, "These are the equivalent guides from their respective sides of the Atlantic, both of them getting rather along in the tooth now. Their objective is to (see more) take bird identification one step beyond the field guide."

This is a great book which gets down to the nitty-gritty details about some of the more difficult species of North American birds. My only complaint is that he doesn't cover more birds/comnparisons. I found this book really helpful, though, for the species that it does cover, and my life list is more complete because of it. (

Stumped by seemingly indistinguishable immature gulls covering the beach? Wonder whether the accipiter raiding your feeder is a female sharp-shinned hawk or a male Cooper's hawk? Well-known birder and author Kenn Kaufman presents some of North America's most challenging bird-identification conundrums in this guide for the advanced birder. Each chapter covers a group of difficult-to-identify or similar-looking birds, with analyses, tips, and drawings to aid in positive identification. Improve your birding skills and add more species to your life list with this excellent resource.
