Not what I expected
I have a 6th floor balcony in the city that overlooks a wood and have plenty of birds that visit, so I wanted to find out more about them. This book did not really help. 1) almost half of the book is seabirds and waterfowl; 2) at least one-third of the birds in this book do not inhabit the mid-Atlantic, according to the population maps, and that causes me to wonder how Smithsonian could publish the book as Birds of the Mid Atlantic. I couldn't find "my" birds, except the ones I already knew (robins, bluejays, cardinals, etc.). Details of the colors on the bird are given, but most people can't see those details on casual viewing. So I've got to find another source for this info hopefully one that compares/contrasts the different birds in one family, such as different starlings, wrens, doves, etc. I should say that the book was in good condition and was still very interesting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
