Good account of the development of American ornithology in the 18th century through the early 20th century. Chapters covering 1950 to the present, when birdwatching became a popular activity, are weaker than the earlier chapters, verbose, and somewhat incoherent. It is still worth a read for the earlier material, though.(less)

This is the best field guide to birds that I have yet encountered. It covers all of the species found in Europe more effectively than any field guide covers North American birds. While the focus is on Europe, this guide could be useful for North American birders, especially ones living on the East Coast.(less)

A good introduction to butterflies and butterfly watching. Pyle's writing is enjoyable and informative, neither too dense nor too chatty. The book introduces butterflies' life history and the various types of butterflies, discusses the merits of catch-and-release or collecting vs. simply watching, lists equipment for butterflying watching (not very much!) and photography, and suggests ways to conserve butterfly populations and attract them with a garden. Finally, Pyle suggests some places to look for butterflies in North America and around the world. The chapter on photography is a bit dated, since it was written well before photography's digital revolution. Otherwise the book holds up quite well. It might be good to read it with a field guide nearby since a lot of the butterfly species Pyle mentions are not included among the book's black-and-white illustrations.(less)

This is not a typical field guide. Instead of showing species and noting how to identify them, it discusses entire ecosystems. There are several distinct forest types in eastern North America. This guide describes each of them, where they occur, and some of the species that are typical of each of them. Recommended for anyone who wants a better understanding habitats and ecology.(less)
