[Scott Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Houghton Mifflin guides on specific birding groups are excellent! This volume focusing on shorebirds of the world is no exception. These guides are certainly the birding "Bible" when it comes to identification and range descriptions.

Not wild about the illustrations, but a useful reference source nonetheless
