The best field guide for Alaska birds!!

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good guide if you're travelling to AK and want to have a list of all possible birds you might see. I use it all the time. Although, I would suggest bringing along a Sibley's guide too. My only problem with "Birds of Alaska" is that it only includes photographs of the birds and not drawings, which can sometimes make it hard to identify the birds in variable lighting.
