This is the bird book I use most often. I agree with the previous reviewer that its main flaw is that it's very liberal in its interpretation of "Eastern" and I often have to wade through several birds I have almost zero chance of seeing here to compare the similar ones that I am likely to see. However, overall the book is an excellent guide, and the one I am most likely to give as a gift to friends who want a good guide for identifying birds while hiking/etc.

The field guide I use most often, this book has great visual identifying cues (thick beak, white eyebrow, rounded tail, etc.). There is a flaw in that Sibley decided to be very inclusive in his designation of "Eastern," so that many birds are included that I have very little chance of seeing in Northern Virginia. I would have preferred a much narrowly tailored field guide.

I finally have this long-coveted field guide. It was a Christmas gift from my sister. I'm going to be good at spotting birds now. I will. I will ...

I'll have this listed as currently reading forever. Best bird book I have ever seen.

I completely suck at birding, but I still enjoy it.
