Bird Guide

This is a great book, however, I'm not so sure it covers all the birds in our area--there are a few we can't identify in this book; perhpas more elaborate desciptions and photos on the various physicalities of the birds would be helpful.

Perfect

I am a beginner birder, and this book is perfect for me. It has been easy to use, and very informative. Two of the long time birders I know also enjoy looking at this book, so it's not just for beginners.
