This is an awesome book for birders with a lot of detail and illustrations on each type of bird. I would recommend it.
Loved it!
I think this is an excellant bird guide. I'd recommend it to anyone who is just starting out as a birder or is a lifetime lover of birds.
The perfect gift!
I purchased this book for my fiance's birthday, as we're new to the birdwatching world. It's aboslutely wonderful, and we'll use it for many years to come.
