Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017
Simply the finest birding book for the region I have seen and now own.
The book has so many things done right that I have virtually set aside every other book I have previously relied on for birding in the backyard and back country alike.
Layout- Easy to use, easy to quickly search and reference. Easy. Period.
Photos- High quality, great shots and real shots that help me reference what I am really seeing in the field. With multiple aspects of most birds in a range of plumages when appropriate.
Descriptions- A perfect blend of technical data and language that is appropriate to the lay-person and expert alike. I purchased this book for multiple family members and some of the more beginner birders find the best aspect to be-- 'they understand it'.
I would consider myself to be a Novice birder but spend more than an average amount of time in the outdoors observing. This is a great reference tool, and incredibly reasonable in price for all it provides.
It may not replace your entire birding library as it did mine, but I assure you it deserves a place in it.
