This is good book although I don't usually use it as my first source. The pictures are looking up at the underside of the wings which is great if you go hawk watching at migrattion time and there are lots of them but I use North American Raptors by Wheeler/Clark more because it has great pictures and hawks I usually see are either flying by or are sitting on a telephone wire/tree branch. Still, its a good reference and has info on migration that you don't get in other books. Its good as a supplement to other hawk books

"Hawk Watch" is the best beginning guide to hawk watch identification and procedures available. Its large format and clear line drawings make it an excellent field reference. The text is direct and accurate. I am site compiler for a hawk watch, and this is the only reference that I urge my volunteers to purchase. Despite the fact that this work is limited to the species found in the eastern US, western birders would still find much of the text quite useful.
