Book 25 2012 Reading Challenge -- took me some time to get through, because it is a work book. I learned to appreciate the Peterson guidebooks, which point out special features in various birds to help the birder tell one bird from another. Plus his use of sillouettes of birds sitting and of birds flying is super helpful for identifying. A terrific book that definitely helped build my birding skills.
