I noticed that the only review of this book was negative, so I had to respond. I just visited my sister in Minnesota, and gave this book to her for her birthday. She loves it! It is not a field guide for identification, but has very specific information about locality of birds, and what seasons they are there. She said she can plan day trips for birding, with the help of this book. It was also fascinating reading! She also has Birds of Minnesota Field Guide by Stan Tekiela, which is a good companion book to bring along. Or any good bird field guide would do.

First off, this is not an identification guide. It is a run down of birding locations in Minnesota. Overall, it is an excellent reference to WHERE one can find certain bird species throughout the state.

I assumed that every book about birds would have many pictures of birds. This did not. The few pictures contained lanscapes, but no birds. I wanted a book to help identify the birds in Minnesota. This is definately not it!
