I collect bird guides, but when I actually go out in the field, this is the ONLY book I bring with me. It's truly indispensable -- and I'll always love it for describing chimney swifts as "cigars with wings."

A nice book to own, but not very useful as a field guide given the current options in the market. The text is still useful as a reference for looking up field marks, but the taxonomic information is a bit outdated.

J'ai tellement feuilleté ce livre-là quand j'étais petite, j'ai appris au moins la moitié des oiseaux du livre ! Si j'arrive à reconnaître autant d'oiseaux, c'est grâce aux heures que j'ai passé à regarder le livre encore et encore quand j'avais à peine 10 ans !

The Peterson guides have always been right at the top, both for ease of identification and for ease of use. I am waiting for the bird calls to be inserted with each remnant dinosaur, right there with the picture. Juveniles excepted. Probably coming, but not soon.

Of all my field guides, this is the one I take to the field. Superb illustrations and comparisons with similar birds make it easy to use. Highly recommended.
