Summary: Audubon-- Birds
Comment: I have an older Audubon bird book that I like better.Although the pictures are nice in this one,I like the layout better in the old one.

Summary: Love this book!
Comment: Beautiful pictures combined with superb write ups on habitat and habits. We have used to identify many beautiful birds right in our own backyard. Makes a great gift for the bird watcher in your circle.

Summary: Second Opinion
Comment: I purchased this as a gift for my recently retired father. As soon as it arrived I checked it out and wished I had bought it for myself. My meager field guide was no comparison! It contains beautiful photos and is so nicely cross referenced. A few days after I gave it to my dad, he called to thank me again and also raved about what a superior guide it is.

Summary: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds
Comment: Everything I could have hoped for. Great photos and information. Compact enough to put in my field bag. Easy to access, even with gloves on! A great book for a beginning bird watcher. "Audubon Society", that says it all. And, it was certainly priced right.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Covering 508 bird species found east of the Rocky Mountains, the revised second edition takes into account changes in taxonomy and uses improved photography. At the heart of the guide is a set of 646 well-made color photographs whose subjects are organized by easily discerned characteristics (e.g., "chicken-like marsh birds," such as the clapper rail; "gull-like birds," such as the kittiwake; and "upright-perching water birds," such as the common murre). The photographs are then keyed to textual descriptions of the birds' appearance, range and habitat, nesting characteristics, and behavior. Easy to use and handsomely produced, this belongs in every eastern birdwatcher's collection. --Gregory McNamee
