Amazon.com Review:

This new field guide provides a suite of modern tools to effectively aid in the identification of more than 750 species of birds across North America. It introduces a "whole bird" approach by concisely gathering a collection of information about birds into one portable and well-organized volume.

2,000 stunning color photographs of birds in natural habitats show the most important field marks, regional population differences, life stages, and behaviors

700-plus detailed and up-to-date color range maps show summer, migration, winter, year-round, and rare but regular occurrences of every major species

A DVD of birdsongs for 138 major species (587 vocalizations in all for 5½ hours of play); each high-quality MP3 file is embedded with an image of the bird, perfect to view on home computers and portable MP3 players

Concise descriptions of habits and ecology, age-related and seasonal differences, regional forms, vocalization, and informative captions pointing out the most important aspects of the bird

46 group essays with information outlining taxonomy, feeding, migration, habitats, behaviors, and conservation status

A thorough and accessible introduction to birds and birding includes sections on parts of a bird, plumage and molt, food and feeding, migration, habitats, conservation, tips on bow to become a better birder, and more

A detailed glossary of terms, species checklist, and quick index

The new Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America is perfectly designed to give birders the most powerful and user-friendly collection of information to carry into the field or wherever they enjoy learning about birds and nature.

- Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America
I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law. The pictures are beautiful with maps showing where the bird live, and is filled with facts from the different species. It is a agreat comprehensive volume.

- Easy reading, visually pleasing, logically ordered guide
I've been sitting on this one for a while because I keep telling myself that i must go out in the field and test this guide but alas, I realize that I won't be doing that anytime soon.
Birding is a pastime that likely appeals to pretty much anybody who takes pleasure from being out of doors or who is interested in flora and fauna. The problem is that birds are surprisingly difficult to actually see, much beyond a silhouette or a fleeting look at one before it flits out of view from its temporary ... Read More

- "The Best" Field Guide!
I am just starting out birding, so this is my first field guide. But as I was picking out which guide to purchase, I quickly realized this was the one to go with. The features that make this guide superior are: actual photos (not drawings), multiple images (juvenile, adult, male/female, multiple color morphs, subspecies, in flight, or anything that helps in ID). And the main thing I liked is that all the text info is on the same pages as the photos (unlike the audobon society guide which forces you to ... Read More

Rating:

- Informative and thorough.
This is an excellent field guide: well researched and written. The photos are beautiful and the descriptions are clear. A perfect layman's guide.

Rating:

- Outstanding, but not alone
The Smithsonian Field Guide to Birds of North America is an outstanding contribution to a crowded field. Unlike the Peterson and National Geographic Guides (among others), this guide uses high quality photographs taken of the birds in a characteristic environment. Detailed, well colored maps indicate the yearly range of the bird specifying breeding, migration, winter, year round, and rare ranges. Photographic quality is uniformly excellent. But the biggest advantage of this book is that it comes with a comprehensive ... Read More
