4 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted!   November 23, 2008
Guide Book of Birds! We needed to be able to identify all the birds we feed all winter long. This book so far has been OK! R Straw Md.


5 out of 5 stars Best bird on the market   September 27, 2008
One of my college professors recommended this book. It is fantastic. Good descriptions great pictures. Very good buy.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for birdlovers!   September 13, 2008
I am very pleased with this book. It is well written and the illustrations are fantastic. I've learned more about birds since this purchase, it's terrific. I've been eager to understand more about the birds that come to my feeders as well as recognize exactly what kind of birds they are. This book provides me with everything I need at this point in my hobby. My teenage son has been able to use it as a reference guide for some of his homework assignments, which proves it's worth even more to me. I would recommend it highly!


5 out of 5 stars National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America--a review.   August 17, 2008
This book is first-rate. I tend to favor wildlife books that depict their subjects in paintings and drawings, rather than photos, and this book is rich in mini-masterpieces. I haven't yet gotten into bird-watching, but the book transcends those who use this as a field guide. Now I can sit in the comfort of my den and enjoy all the glory of Nature's bird treasures. Whether one likes to explore on-foot, or by flipping pages in a book, this is one volume in which you can't go wrong!!
