We have many bird guides at the Burton Public Library - some of them are authoritative with excellent pictures and comprehensive text. This is not one of those guides. This book is for the experienced birder who is looking for the rare bird.
The pictures are downright lovely to look at! The text is full of field identification information. I found the comments section for each species to be the fun part. It lists historical references to bird sightings as well as more recent accounts. I have a lot to learn before I need this book, but for the real birder this book would be a nice find.
