Reviews"If you want to become a better birder, get this guide and use it often. The text is thorough and accurate, the plates are a gratifying combination of painterly and precise, and the layout is a tour de force."   --Ted Floyd, editor of  Birding  magazine   "National Geographic has packed so much--new species, new art, revised maps, subspecies details, updated taxonomy and the latest ID tips--into this newest edition of their classic field guide that I suspect it may simply explode."   --Scott Weidensaul, author of  Living on the Wind "Updated, upgraded, and indispensible. The illustrations are better than in any other field guide; the fully revised text is detailed, accurate, and well organized; and the maps are unmatched. This is the guide for birders and field ornithologiests."  -- Dr. J. V. Remsen, Jr., Museum of Natural Sciences, Louisiana State University  "A stellar update of this standard-setting field guide. The new edition offers innovative features for all skill and interest levels, from those seeking a basic ID to those who want their field guide to deliver the goods on behavior, taxonomy, and distribution."   -- Dr. Terry Chesser, Chair, AOS Committee on Classification and Nomenclature (North and Middle America)   "New birds, new knowledge and new art work just made the most essential guide for North American birders even more essential....You only need to buy one field guide for North America, and the National Geographic is it." --Neil Hayward, author of  Lost Among the Birds "[This edition] continues to improve on the already outstanding previous editions.  The addition of many new illustrations as well as updated text and range maps make this book the standard for North American field guides." -- Mark W. Lockwood, author of The TOS Handbook of Texas Birds

  • Buy it!

    Most comprehensive and up to date field guide out there. I like that they have flying as well as perched views of the birds. Only thing I would have done differently, I miss the quick color-based reference my old Audubon guide used, very handy that way. Great product!

    The information on each bird is excellent and the illustrations are even better. Easy to use in the identification of a species. I've been using this guide since the 1st edition came out. My favorite guide!
