Customer Review: I regretted replacing my old 1966 Birds of No Amer book which has held up and served me well. Surely, it was time for a replacement, but I am disappointed. The light print of the range maps makes them very difficult to read. Extension of the page text and photos up to the binding makes me... more info
Henry Beston wanted to find his voice as a writer. He had served as an ambulance driver in France during WWI and since then had earned a living on children's fairy tales and magazine articles. He fell under the spell of Outer Cape Cod while writing about the coast guardsmen stationed at... more info
Customer Review: This is the perfect one stop field guide for identifying birds on any Caribbean Island. The illustrations are well done and compared to the previous hardcover version it has updated illustrations for the Vireos which was poorly done in the hardcover version. It is still amazing how so much... more info
Customer Review: Best book ever for easy use & clear identification of east coast birds. Large print is perfect for switching from binoculars to identifying details. I regularly give copies to my friends as I think it's simply the best. Lee W.

The pictures cover breeding and winter plumages, adult and juvenile, but since... more info
Customer Review: The field guide contains well rendered photos. I purchased this book to study for an upcoming trip to Africa. For the most part, the color plates are contained at the front of the book. This makes it relatively easy to have the book re-bound using only the color plates in the field (saving the full... more info
Customer Review: There is a lot of explanatory speech in CD. I was hoping to listen to bird sounds and relax when I ordered this. But all series of Birding by ear from PETERSON field guides are with speech. Actually it has the name guides, so I don't blame the product. If you need to analyze and study bird... more info
Customer Review: and I have several! I do love the female voice on this CD, and I love that it allows you to guess the bird before you're told what it is; but what makes this CD really stand above the rest for me is its use of mnemonics. That the woman says aloud, beside each song, the rhyme or phrase or human... more info
