easy for quick identification November 3, 2008
I think this is a terrific book because it is easy to quickly identify birds with their well laid-out information, quick identification tips and specific tips as to what to look for when identifying a bird. Some of the tips are paying attention to bird stance, beak shape, crown feathers etc ... They also show birds that look similar to other birds so you can compare the possibilities of who just flew away. And they have easy color guides of what birds are seasonally-where on the map; the one draw-back is that they have birds that would never come to the North East, not many, but they are in the guide. I keep this book on the window sill by my feeder and enjoy it all winter long! I will also but one for my mom.
great field guide on birds all over north america not just the east June 8, 2008
This is an outstanding field guide, easy to use and understand.I live in the mountains of western North Carolina and many species of birds migrate through here and also there are many year round species that I have identified with this bird guide. I highly recommend this guide if your looking for a bird field guide that is easy to tote in the field for a quick reference for any unusual birds you may want info on readily.
Better than.... May 20, 2008
Love my new Sibley Field Guide. It's better than the old standard guide I've used for years. It's easy to navigate, and I love the varied views of individual birds, flying, perched etc.. It stays on my kitchen table for constant reference!!
Shibley Field Guide to Birds of Easter North America May 19, 2008
I owned this bird book before my purchase from Amazon. The two copies I recently purchased from Amazon were for gifts. The Shibley field guide is my favorite because it also includes the color configuration of the underside of the bird's wings which other authors don't include.
Excellent - So happy with this one May 16, 2008
I love the Sibley guides. The one criticism that I have heard and will agree with is that some of the drawings are a bit "dull" in comparison to other guides. Having said that, this has never deterred from my ability to identify a bird in the field. I both watch and study birds and absolutely adore these guides. Everyone who I've spoken to agrees that these books are excellent. Probably the best feature to me is how each species is depicted in flight as well as percing. Arrows highlight key features to look for. Juvelniles and females depicted. Other unique characteristics noted or depicted (e.g. diagnostic flight patterns or other movements). Wonderful! (Western edition too).
