Introduced in 1977 and completely revised in 1994, these bestselling photographic field guides have become the birding bibles of more than four million enthusiasts. Virtually every bird found in North America is brought to life in a full-color photograph and with textual information on the bird's voice, nesting habits, habitat, range, and interesting behaviors. Accompanying range maps; overhead flight silhouettes; sections on bird-watching, accidental species, and endangered birds make these the most comprehensive field guides to birds available.
Note: the Eastern Edition generally covers states east of the Rocky Mountains, while the Western Edition covers the Rocky Mountain range and all the states to the west of it.

Summary: A must have for all avid birders
Comment: This revised edition replaced my old worn out copy that I've had since the mid 1980s. This guide, and the Peterson's are two must have guides for every avid birder. When identifying a new bird, I find myself reaching for this one first. Because of the colored thumb tabs, identification is usually very fast. But if I am still not completely sure, then I'll pick up the Petersons and combine information. Of course one can never have too many bird books, but owning both the Audubons and the Petersons will have you covered.

Summary: birdies
Comment: I've had so much fun identifying birds since I received this book. There were many I had often seen but never knew what they were. Oila! Now I do. I even bought one for a friend. This is a great reference for those who are new to bird watching. Wish I'd taken it on vacation with me.

Summary: absolutely exquisite
Comment: The photographs in this book are incredibly gorgeous. There are over 600 photographs, all of them crisp, clear and close up. The book includes information about territories, nesting habits and even describes the sounds the birds make in detail. This is a wonderful book not only to be enjoyed by bird watcher but also to be used by couch potatoes like me who don't get out much. But you might be inspired to get out and look for birds after a mere glance through this beautiful field guide. Well worth having.
