Birds of Pennsylvania Field Guide, Second Edition by Stan Tekiela

Perfect size for throwing in my bag when we go hiking. Well organized by color making it easy to quickly identify a bird. In addition to the name of the bird there are fun facts about each bird listed. Also includes a beautiful picture of each species.
