Editorial Reviews

Review

"Another remarkably ambitious collaboration of Monson and Phillips which updates the first edition from 1960 through 1980. . . . By so thoroughly covering the status and range descriptions of 475 species and subspecies, is a model for others of this ilk."—American Birds

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for AZ Birders, January 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Arizona (Paperback)

Though the text is over 20 years old, this little book is still a highly valued and regulary-opened part of my library. Anyone wanting to be well-informed on the birds of Arizona should have and read this book.
The distibutional and subsepecies information is impeccable. Nothing newer has come along to replace it.

1.0 out of 5 stars this book needs a companion, January 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Arizona (Paperback)

this book is full of excellent facts and figures BUT has no photos or even sketches. Therefore is of no use on its own as a bird watchers field guide.
