The pictures are pretty good & sometimes contain second pictures where season or sex changes the look of a bird - not always, though. (  ) jimmaclachlan | Sep 25, 2009 |  Good book for beginners who want to search for birds by color; Sibley's guide is much better for the intermediate or advanced birder (  ) thewykoffs | Dec 30, 2008 | Excellent Reference. ( ) njtrout | Aug 17, 2008 | These are great guides and anyone who is interested in nature should have the entire collection. I love being able to identify things I have seen or taken pictures of easily. ( ) janepriceestrada | Jul 20, 2008 | I have two of these - one in each vehicle.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0679428526, Turtleback)Covering 508 bird species found east of the Rocky Mountains, the revised second edition takes into account changes in taxonomy and uses improved photography. At the heart of the guide is a set of 646 well-made color photographs whose subjects are organized by easily discerned characteristics (e.g., "chicken-like marsh birds," such as the clapper rail; "gull-like birds," such as the kittiwake; and "upright-perching water birds," such as the common murre). The photographs are then keyed to textual descriptions of the birds' appearance, range and habitat, nesting characteristics, and behavior. Easy to use and handsomely produced, this belongs in every eastern birdwatcher's collection. --Gregory McNamee(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:18 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
