The Birds of Ohio and The Birds of Illinois are both magnificently illustrated by William Zimmerman (Wildfowl of North America). Zimmermann's work has frequently been compared to Audubon's. But in place of Audubon's romanticism, Zimmerman offers greater technical skill; his "comfortable" birds appear to be on the verge of taking wing from the page. These are splendid works--fine paintings and an authoritative text. They hold the promise of attaining collector status (and value). Every collection with a birding interest should acquire immediately.

Absolutely Splendid,
By 5/0 (Outdoors USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Ohio: With Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas Maps (Paperback)
It is IMPOSSIBLE to overstate the value of this book for Ohio/Great Lakes Area birders. Though it has the "look" of a just another dry "Field Guide", Peterjohn's "The Birds of Ohio" - don't be fooled - besides being very informative, it is an interesting and entertaining read from page to page to page. Though it's title would lead one to think of it as a "local" work, the reader should realize the Ohio area is one of huge REGIONAL impact, that region encompassing much of east-central Canada and the east-central U.S. All Thumbs Up for this one !!!

Neat little guide,
This review is from: Birds of Ohio: With Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas Maps (Paperback)
This small field guide has excellent photos, more than one per species is several cases; a migration map; notes on size; male, female and juvenile plumage; nest, eggs and incubation period;fledgling; migration; food; species comparison; and a great section entitled "Stan's Notes", full of interesting tidbits. Excellent picture guide for beginning birders.

Heavy on Details,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Birds of Ohio: With Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas Maps (Paperback)
This thick book seems to be filled with every detail on the birds of Ohio. A serious birder will most likely enjoy and treasure this volume. Illustrations (mostly maps of the state) are black and white line drawings. I did not find any color illustrations or photographs. The amature birder may find this a bit dissapointing.
Those that take this hobby seriously would most likely rate this book at 5 stars.
