There is much to like in this field guide.
The text is accurate, informative, and useful. --Minnesota River Valley Audubon Society

This is a well thought-out guide. The bird illustrations are large and inviting paintings. The descriptive text for each species is written in layman's terms for the beginner, but includes some points of interest for more advanced birders. --The Cardinal, St. Paul Audubon Society newsletter
