Having seen the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds I was interested in the Florida version. However after receiving the book and looking through it I was greatly disappointed. The illustrations (photographs?) are very poor as far as identifying many of the birds. The drawings of the full version are much superior. It is also very incomplete in its coverage of the birds present. Upon receiving it I tried looking up birds I had recently identified and found a surprising number missing from the book although I could see some of them in my yard trees. Florida's Birds from Pineapple Press is much better although the first edition of it is also incomplete. I kept the NG book in my library but for now I will continue to use Sibley (Eastern Birds) and Stokes (Eastern Birds) as my field guides. One thing in favor of the NG Florida book is that it is small enough to actually be carried into the field easily.

This is the perfect book to put in your pocket or backback. Its small and compact with excellent pictures and diagrams. Its a good book for beginners and for anyway in Florida who sees an amazing bird and asks, "I wonder what that is?"

Amazon.com delivered this book very quickly.The book is very handy to have with you when birding. The photos are very clear, the descriptions are very clear and concise. Book fits right in you back pocket. I would recommend this to any bird enthusiast.

A convenient reference for a quick look when checking out backyard birds. Easy to use.

This is fantastic to carry with you and being specialized for Florida that makes it easy to use and carry with you everywhere and all information for each bird!! Great !!!

I love this book and use it as a reference since I live on the water and there are all kinds of water and tree birds. The pictures are very clear, and descriptions are very informative.
