Finally, a portable, up-to-date guide for these difficult birds. Unfortunately, it’s not as useful as it could have been and thus might not be a book you need to add to your library.

The current standard in field guides. Anyone birding in North America needs a copy.

Birding in the American West: A Handbook
Reviews, Books, Advanced ID, Reviews, Books, Birding, Reviews, Books, Regional & Travel Guides | Comments (1)by Kevin J. Zimmer
This is essentially three books in one: a general birding guide; advanced identification for difficult birds; and a bird-finding guide. Each one of these sections is excellent. The advanced ID section alone makes it a good purchase for ANY birder in North America.
A wonderful, but altogether too short, documentary.
