Great book! We moved into a new house in a different area about a year ago. This spring and summer, much to our surprise, we had a lot of birds in our yard. This book has been very helpful in allowing us to know what we have!
Great for northern part of US, not western and southwestern. Very comprehensive, excellent for temperate zones. Not so good for West and Southwest, more arid regions. Should have done a little more research before buying.
Five Stars Since I wrote it, I have a rather favorable impression of it.
