The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America

I have had the Sibley Guide to North American Birds for years and it carries so much information I sometimes carry it into the field but it is heavy and cumbersome. Now with the smaller, lighter field guide I can always have a Sibley's with me. In fact I keep it in the car along with my second pair of binoculars. I still like and admire the National Geographic series but the Sibley's is my first choice for identification, plus salient details of a particular bird's life is quickly found. And thanks to Amazon for getting it to me so quickly. Living out in the Texas country, Amazon has been a boon companion for almost all my shoppin needs.

bird guide

I already own a lot of bird guide books, and I wondered if this would be of any value. Surprise! I found myself using it quite often to distinguish between look-alike species. For a book with such small pages, I found the pictures to be of decent quality. It is a very nice little ID book for a reasonable price.

Good companion to Western Edition

I bird in the NW US using the Western edition of this book. I bought the Eastern edition for a trip to Florida because I was used to how the Western edition was organized and didn't want to miss any birds while I learned a new system. Have used it on subsequent trips to Georgia and Louisiana. It's an excellent companion book to my own book, 40 Excuses to Get Together with the Girls if you're working on Excuse #10 (Because I want to know that bird's name).

Good book for a good price

The book is a very useful guide for who wants to do birdwatching, and who has a basic knowledge of birds. In the case you don't have a basic knowledge of birds but you are a good watcher, the guide is still helpful as it make a summary of some concepts.

Bird Watching 101!!

I belong to the Cornell Orinthology Bird Watching. I love to watch the birds from the 8-10 feeders in my yard. My girlfriend is also an avid bird watcher, and recommended this book to me. I have found it VERY resourceful in identifying birds and tidbits of information about them. I take this book with me when I travel, so I can identify birds in other parts of the U.S. The only downfall is the way some birds are listed in the index-you sometimes have to look under various names to find the type of bird you're looking for.
