Product Description |
Birding is the fastest growing wildlife-related activity in the U.S., and even conservative estimates put the current number of U.S. birders at 50 million. According to the New York Times, some authorities predict that by 2050 there will be more than 100 million—and the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America will be the essential reference for field identification and the cornerstone of any birder's library. This is the ultimate, indispensable bird field guide—comprehensive, authoritative, portable, sturdy, and easier than ever to use.
Among the the new edition's key elements and practical improvements: Every North American species—more than 960, including a new section on accidental birds—classified according to the latest official American Ornithologists' Union checklist 4,000 full-color illustrations by the foremost bird artists at work todayand newly updated range maps that draw on the latest data New durable cover for added protection against adverse weather, plus informative quick-reference flaps that double as placemarkers New reader-friendly features like thumbtabs that make locating key sections faster and easier, and a quick-find index to direct users straight to the information they need. |

National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America--a review. |
|
This book is first-rate. I tend to favor wildlife books that depict their subjects in paintings and drawings, rather than photos, and this book is rich in mini-masterpieces. I haven't yet gotten into bird-watching, but the book transcends those who use this as a field guide. Now I can sit in the comfort of my den and enjoy all the glory of Nature's bird treasures. Whether one likes to explore on-foot, or by flipping pages in a book, this is one volume in which you can't go wrong!! |

CHUCK FULL OF GREAT PICTURES, RANGE MAPS, QUICK FIND INDEX, AND THUMBNAILS FOR EASY ACCESS. BEING THAT WE LIVE IN A FAIRLY LARGE WOODED PART OF THE OZARKS, WE GET TO SEE MANY SPECIES OF BIRDS RIGHT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD. |

Ok book. |
|
I wish this book had more detail in both drawnings and discreptions. As in more possable colorings from juvenile to adult and sex. Color of eggs, what kind of nest, habitat and sounds. |

Know your birds! |
|
This book is very helpful in figuring out just what bird is outside your window. It does help if you have a general knowledge of birds. |
