This review is from: Maryland & DC Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (State Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
I ordered this item because I didn't know how to identify the birds I was seeing in my neighborhood. Initially, I thought it was a bound book and I noted in another review, that it was a fold out, which is important, and should be mentioned in the description, but for me, a fold out suited just fine. You can easily find the bird you want to identify, by unfolding the book and seeing them all at once, instead of trying to thumb through a thick bird guide or index. I've lost patience trying to find birds that way, in other books I've bought, though the more complete volumes certainly have their use for detailed research. This one gives you a good starting reference and is also limited to the local birds that you might actually encounter, on a regular basis.

Very nice fold out laminated bird guide. Illustrated listing of birds in Maryland/DC. Listed in four categories; Birds of Prey, Perching birds, Doves/woodpeckers, water and nearshore birds. The guide has a map of Maryland/DC birding hotspots. Obviously it doesn't list as much information as a bird guide book would, but if you are just looking for basic identification then this will be perfect for you.

I thought it was a book, it's not. It's just a fold. I'd send it back, but with shipping cost it's not worth it.
