Even better than before!

I bought this for a friend, but looked at it in a local store first. It's even better than the previous version. My friend loves it too! I have it on my Wishlist for next time.

Very helpful!

With homes on the Jersey shore and in middle Tennessee, we're fortunate to see various kinds of birds. The Peterson Field Guide was essential in helping us identify what was flying by or stopping to rest, spelled out by time of year, location, excellent written description of the birds, informative and clear illustrations and identifiable characteristics of songs and calls. We have a copy in both houses!

Easy to use

The pictures were great, and birds can easily be identified by referring to the pages of this book.

Great bird guide

I like this bird guide. It is very helpful in pointing out specific markings/traits similar birds have. This way I can decipher who I'm looking at. I like the maps that indicate where the birds summer, winter or stay year-round. Most drawings have pictures of juveniles. One of the things I would have liked to seen is more juvenile pictures as many juvenile birds visit here in early to mid-summer. I wasn't able to readily recognize them due to similar body types to other types of birds and their plumage being so differnt from their parents. Another thing I would have liked to seen in the guide is what the birds eat at different times in their lives and at different times of year. This would help in locating and identifying. However, the guide does tell what type of areas the birds live in. Overall, I really like the guide. It is durable, the illustrations of the birds are very detailed and it is informative.
