I love this guide because, unlike other books, you don't have to know what type of bird you're looking at before you can find out what type of bird you're looking at.

Most bird books: (opens book) "Is it a finch?" "I don't know." "Is it a jay?" "I don't know." "Is it a thrush?" (closes book)

This guide, however, has the birds listed by color. I love it. That's something even an idiot like me can understand and then find more information about.
