Covering 508 bird species found east of the Rocky Mountains, the revised second edition takes into account changes in taxonomy and uses improved photography. At the heart of the guide is a set of 646 well-made color photographs whose subjects are organized by easily discerned characteristics (e.g., "chicken-like marsh birds," such as the clapper rail; "gull-like birds," such as the kittiwake; and "upright-perching water birds," such as the common murre). The photographs are then keyed to textual descriptions of the birds' appearance, range and habitat, nesting characteristics, and behavior. Easy to use and handsomely produced, this belongs in every eastern birdwatcher's collection. --Gregory McNamee
Product Description
Introduced in 1977 and completely revised in 1994, these bestselling photographic field guides have become the birding bibles of more than four million enthusiasts. Virtually every bird found in North America is brought to life in a full-color photograph and with textual information on the bird's voice, nesting habits, habitat, range, and interesting behaviors. Accompanying range maps; overhead flight silhouettes; sections on bird-watching, accidental species, and endangered birds make these the most comprehensive field guides to birds available.
Note: the Eastern Edition generally covers states east of the Rocky Mountains, while the Western Edition covers the Rocky Mountain range and all the states to the west of it.

 Love this book! April 8, 2008
Beautiful pictures combined with superb write ups on habitat and habits. We have used to identify many beautiful birds right in our own backyard. Makes a great gift for the bird watcher in your circle.

I purchased this as a gift for my recently retired father. As soon as it arrived I checked it out and wished I had bought it for myself. My meager field guide was no comparison! It contains beautiful photos and is so nicely cross referenced. A few days after I gave it to my dad, he called to thank me again and also raved about what a superior guide it is.

Everything I could have hoped for. Great photos and information. Compact enough to put in my field bag. Easy to access, even with gloves on! A great book for a beginning bird watcher. "Audubon Society", that says it all. And, it was certainly priced right.
Field Guide - North American Birds February 8, 2008
Great book. My husband and I have this book that my parents gave us several years ago and we love it so we purchased one for our friends who live in Atlanta, GA and are just getting into birds and wanted to be able to identify the birds that visit their feeders.

Excellent guide for the bird watcher. Great for new bird watchers. This was a gift as I already have one. The person recieving the book states it is the best. He has other books, but this is the best.
