Review:This book has wonderful pictures. I basically used it for that purpose so children could see the many different types of birds. We did go on a picture walk through the book to name and talk about the birds. Read more

Review:This is my third copy of this excellent book, which I use as my ;primary resource for identifying birds. Kaufman is the best, in my opinion -- he combines the benefits of photos and paintings by digitally adjusting the photos to reflect the most typical specimens. Read more

Review:I really like this book. First, it only lists birds of PA, so I don't have to page through other bird species when trying to locate a bird reference in my back yard. Second, the pictures in the book are outstanding, making bird identification a snap. Also, the birds are listed in order of color, with separate identification for male and female, where there is a difference in their color. Read more

Review:Great little bird book for Carolinians - when I saw a neighbor's book, I immediately searched Amazon and ordered my own. Color-coded arrangement makes it easy to find what you're looking for, and especially helpful to have an inset photo of the mate if it is a different color. Nice full-page photos. Read more

Review:I had already purchased this book for myself and have enjoyed listening to the birds (it's a talking book) and identifying the birds. The only drawback is that it's too big to carry if going on a hike to birdwatch.

Review:It's an excellent source of information that's easy to use. We carry it with us whenever we're out in nature. I plan now to buy one for Wisconsin and New York as well to give to family members living in those states. Read more

Review:I love these field guides. They are compact, full of information, contain high quality photos of each entry to make identification unmistakable, and contain every bird I have ever needed to look up. These may be the best field guides out there. Read more

Review:Pros: Bigger format, bigger pictures, arrows pointing to major identification characteristics, some subspecies and color variations.
Cons: Some pages too crawded, so it is not obvious which name/description goes to which picture (that might be a problem for a begginer), different order of groups (book starts with geese, most other guides start with loons), few pictures not very accurate (bill shape on some warblers). Read more
