This is the best field guide I've ever seen, for any state, region or country. Birds are grouped by color, making it easy for the novice birder. Includes large color photograph of every bird with separate pictures to differentiate females and juveniles. In addition to basic information, interesting behaviorial tidbits are included for each species. I could not be happier with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, Easy To Use, Compact -- Perfect for Everyone!, August 3, 2004

This review is from: Birds of Oregon Field Guide (Paperback)

While I've used a number of more general wildlife guides, both in the Northwest U.S., and in travels around the world, I've never used one focused solely on birding. Thus, my short review must be taken with a grain of salt. However, I am repeatedly amazed at how fast I find a bird that's suddenly come within view. Further, I've yet to come across a bird in Oregon that I haven't been able to find in this book. AND The book is small enough to lug along on short backpacking trips -- as long as you're not also lugging a load of novels that must be read while sitting alone, next to a Cascadian mountain lake, of course.

I like this book because it is simple and easy to use. Because it is color coded by birds. Its great for the beginner birder. Plus it let's you check off the birds you have seen in the back of the book. I would definatly recommend this book to any beginner birder as their first book of purchase!
