5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete Duck Identification book ever., November 12, 1999

By	Tim Jensen (tjensen@clear.lakes.com) (Waseca, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I have duck hunted for 25 years and for 22 of them I had only vague guesses at most species of duck I was shooting at. Not any more! I can identify most species of duck from flight level & style long before they come into gunning range. In hand identification is even better. Le Masters uses bill/plumage identification. I have not shot one duck that we could not identify using this book. I cannot say enough good things about it. The best $7 you'll ever spend for duck hunting. Ladies give your husband a gift he will absolutely love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game Warden, January 20, 2000

By A Customer

I was issued a copy oif the Waterfowl ID guide by my supervisor three years ago. I have used it numerous times when a species was "tough" or when a hunter wanted to see comparisons. The bill chart is the greates feature. I'm transferring so I must pass on my booklet to the "new" warden, so I have to have my own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures little content, January 7, 2000

By	"brownse" (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews

The book is ideal for classification of ducks, but gives little detail as to where the birds are geographically located. Also there is no indepth discussion of each individual bird other than the detail for identification. It would be nice if there was a paragraph or so giving a little history on the ducks identified.
