highly recommended

David Allen Sibley, America's most gifted contemporary painter of birds, is the author and illustrator of this comprehensive guide. His beautifully detailed illustrations?more than 6,600 in all?and descriptions of 810 species and 350 regional populations will enrich every birder's experience.

The Sibley Guide's innovative design makes it entirely user friendly. The illustrations are arranged to facilitate comparison, yet still capture the unique character of each species.

The Sibley Guide to Birds provides a wealth of new information:
?Captioned illustrations show many previously unpublished field marks and revisions of known marks
?Nearly every species is shown in flight
?Measurements include length, wingspan, and weight for every species
?Subspecies and geographic varients are covered thoroughly
?Complete voice descriptions are included for every species
?Maps show the complete distribution of every species: summer and winter ranges, migration routes, and rare occurrences

Both novice and experienced birders will appreciate these and other innovative features:
?An introductory page for each family or group of related families makes comparisons simple
?Clear and concise labels with pointers identify field marks directly
?Birds are illustrated in similar poses to make comparisons between species quick and easy
?Illustrations emphasize the way birds look in the field

With The Sibley Guide to Birds, the National Audubon Society makes the art and expertise of David Sibley available to the world in a comprehensive, handsome, easy-to-use volume that will be the indispensable identification guide every birder must own.

Gift

I used this book so much that this time I bought it to give as a gift.

The Shelby Guide to Birds

This is the Best Bird Book on the market for beginers and those of experience. It is visually more complete than other books that I have or seen. It is a must as a birders' companion.

Beautiful artwork

I'm keeping the book by the window that looks over my bird feeder.

The drawings are beautiful - one could cut out the pages, frame the pictures, and have a home full of beautiful artwork.

So nice I had to keep one!

I bought two of these books for gifts but when my husband saw it he had to have one for us.
It's that nice. We love it.

good book

Nice book, I purchased it on the reviews of others. I have not regretted it. I got it for some information, and found I was using it for other items.
