The biggest (and to me, this is big) fault I have with the guide is that it covers all of America and does not include range maps. Combining this with the fact that so many birds that are often encountered in my area (SE Louisiana) are absent (y. crowned night heron, w. pelican, tricolor heron, b. necked stilt, to name a few very common birds in my area from the first few pages) make this guide less useful than other beginners' guides I have come across.
