This has been the second most-used book in my family for the past 5 or so years. Even the 1-year-olds recognize it and take it to bed to look at the pictures.

I appreciate the pictures of birds in summer as well as winter (for the birds that change colors as the seasons change).

There have only been a few birds I haven't been able to find in here, but they've been migratory birds that are only passing through on their way north or south.

Great birdwatching guide, gets done what it needs to! I remember this as the first bird guide I bought at wild birds unlimited, far overpriced, but the color guide is quite useful. I'm not the best with using guide books, but out of the two I have it's fairly easy to navigate.

Awesome book to help me identify and journal all the birds that come to my garden. I was hoping for a goldfinch and I now have three! So exciting!

A small helpful guide, especially in that it only features the common birds found in the state where I live (though not all the birds there), making it faster to use.
