Missing too many birds,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Common Birds of Washington & Oregon (Paperback)
We live on the Oregon South Coast (see http://www.visitoregonsouthcoast.com/) and looked forward to using this book to identify the many birds we see. Unfortunately, many of the birds are not listed in the book making it useless for us. We use a larger, more comprehensive bird book instead.
