When only the best will do

After a several year hiatus of working with a camera, I recently picked up photography again as a hobby. Shortly thereafter, I started gaining an interest in wildlife and birds, and began photographing them. When I asked several photographers which bird ID book to look into, they immediately mentioned Sibley.

While browsing through the shelves at a B&N brick and mortar store, I immediately understood why Sibley's book is so highly regarded.

There are several elements that really stand out in my mind
* The book is very well laid out
* Excellent, accurate illustrations detailing various characterstics among species, gender, etc
* Thoughtfully organized sections that make reading it a breeze, whether you are simply browsing for a bird ID or want to learn more by reading more in-depth.
* It's a managable size, that can be carried along, should you decide to take it in the field. I usually leave mine home, as I am usually capturing the bird on camera already.
* Although it's the Eastern North American field guide, there are species that can be found in the book from much further away. I can only assume they include everything that you "might" encounter out in the field, which is an excellent benefit.

Don't settle for anything less. Get the Sibley's book.

A VERY USEFUL GUIDE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is one of those guides I finally got around to purchasing and am quite grateful I did...wish I had done it sooner! I own quite a large number of guides dating back well over fifty years when I first stated birding. I carry several (never just one) in the field and this latest addition to my collection is now always present. It is quite accurate, well organized and very easy to pack and use. I have found that younger people, for what ever reason, seem to like this work (they sort of roll their eyes when I keep draging out my old worn Peterson) and if it works for them and encourages them in this wonderful passion, then I am all for it. Recommend it highly.
