"Farrand states the rationale for his procedure succinctly, leaving most of the pages' space for photos that are sharp and truly enough colored to be fully legible..." - Booklist.

3.0 out of 5 stars
All in all a worthy field guide.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Audubon Handbook: Eastern Birds (Paperback)
I've owned this field guide for quite some time. The pictures and text are all good. I believe it would have been a better book had it had actual maps of of the birds distribution though. Describing where a particular bird is located geographically just in words without a map is not what I like. Other than that, this is more than an adequate guide for any person who enjoys birding.

Photos not just drawings,
This review is from: Audubon Handbook: Eastern Birds (Paperback)
One of it's best features is the additional photo of the bird in flight, this makes identication easier. I looked over many books before I decided on this one, it is well organized and the photos are much better over those pictured with drawings. With each bird pictured is a list of similar species, I wish there were pictures of these too but than it would be too heavy to carry with me. My uncle has had many birder books for years and this is still his favorite too.Diane
