A nice, even though limited, field guide focusing on birds that commonly exist in Maine. I wouldn't recommend this as a true "field guide" (sorted by...*cringe*.. color..) but it is a neat book that I wouldn't mind adding to my bird book collection. I did enjoy reading cover to cover to review some basic info as well as some interesting tidbit facts for each species.

Super helpful little field guide for identifying local birds - we picked it up as an impulse purchase at the bookstore and have left it on our dining room table since then. I like that it organizes birds by color and explains the difference between males and females, and in some cases winter and summer.

Fantastic guide. The photos are wonderful. Great info. Very easy to use. I have identified a few new birds in my yard thanks to this great book.

A concise, yet well detailed book. Even though It's palm-sized, the photos are detailed and vibrant. I keep it by my kitchen window to use while watching my bird feeder. An excellent and practical reference guide.
