This review is from: Atlantic Coastal Birds (Peterson Flashguides (TM)) (Misc. Supplies)

I found this fold-out extremely useful. As a marine biologist, until now my knowledge has concentrated on fishes, inverts, and marine mammals, however my present job requires identification of local shorebirds. As my job is based on a boat and birds don't always hold their position while you look them up, the format of this quick-reference fold-out is great. The illustrations are great, showing all plumages of different species (juveniles, male, female, seasonal colors, etc.). Illustrations are also at different angles (i.e. standing, in flight, etc.), facilitating even better quick identification. As usual, Peterson does it again excellently!
