4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Identification for Beginners, April 16, 2003

By	Melissa A Clarady (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Florida Field Guide (Field Guides) (Paperback)

I have this wonderful little book, and it has stimulated my bird watching immensly. The birds are seperated by color, so if you see a black bird, go to the black section. I recommend this book highly for children, beginners, the just curious. It is small, but the pictures will help alot. Love this book!!! Buy it I think it is worth every penny

1.0 out of 5 stars Where are the birds?, June 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Birds of Florida Field Guide (Field Guides) (Paperback)

Many of Florida's most interesting or unusual birds are missing from this book. Whooping cranes, Limpkin, Red cockaded woodpeckers, all of special interest and missing.
Aracaras and Snail Kites are also missing. This is a potboiler.

4.0 out of 5 stars These are great for beginners and experienced birders, January 13, 2006

By	Doug (South Bend, IN USA) - See all my reviews

I have used a copy of Birds of Michigan for several years. I'll be in Orlando and Jacksonville this year and so got this for my trip. Many birds that occur in Florida are, no doubt, not included butwith several hundred documented species, it would be impossible to make a pocket guide like this with every potentially present bird.

My ONLY complaint about this series is that some birds are hard to find because they have several dominant colors and you might have to look in two or three sections to find it. But that's easier than scanning through 200-300 pages in my Peterson guide.
