4.0 out of 5 stars A nice guide if you understand it's limitations, October 6, 2009

Even though I am an avid birder and have many standard guide books I also own over a dozen of the foldable guides in this series. I use them as "flash cards" before a trip in order to become familiar with the common birds in a particular area so I can spot the unusual ones quicker. I also give them to my non-birding companions so I can share the joy of identifying wild birds. It is not as intimidating to them as a Sibley's or a Peterson's guide book. I should mention that the guide has less than half of the birds that can spotted in the region but it does cover the most popular species. However, it is great for a primer or for beginners and children.
