This field guide has the best pictures of bird species when compared to the other guides. The pictures are hand drawn and colored to show exact images. Other books that show photographic images that have been taken in various levels of daylight and shade unfortunately change the color(s) of the birds. This guide also shows pics of immatures, size and beak differences and other pertinent material that helps in the identification of species. This book was given to me as a gift when I got involved in birding by a dear friend and I cherished it. I had made a lot of notations in it, too. I lost my original field guide and have been looking for a replacement. Glad I found this one.
I bought this for my Granddaughter and we have fun identyfing the various local birds. She always wants know what sounds they make and this book does a wonderful job explaining the sounds. You will enjoy!
