Editorial Reviews:

Covering 508 bird species found east of the Rocky Mountains, the revised second edition takes into account changes in taxonomy and uses improved photography. At the heart of the guide is a set of 646 well-made color photographs whose subjects are organized by easily discerned characteristics (e.g., "chicken-like marsh birds," such as the clapper rail; "gull-like birds," such as the kittiwake; and "upright-perching water birds," such as the common murre). The photographs are then keyed to textual descriptions of the birds' appearance, range and habitat, nesting characteristics, and behavior. Easy to use and handsomely produced, this belongs in every eastern birdwatcher's collection. --Gregory McNamee

User Comments about the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds--E: Eastern Region - Revised Edition

Beautiful pictures combined with superb write ups on habitat and habits. We have used to identify many beautiful birds right in our own backyard. Makes a great gift for the bird watcher in your circle.

It contains beautiful photos and is so nicely cross referenced. I purchased this as a gift for my recently retired father. As soon as it arrived I checked it out and wished I had bought it for myself. My meager field guide was no comparison. A few days after I gave it to my dad, he called to thank me again and also raved about what a superior guide it is.

A great book for a beginning bird watcher. Compact enough to put in my field bag. Great photos and information. Everything I could have hoped for. "Audubon Society", that says it all. Easy to access, even with gloves on. And, it was certainly priced right.

Great book. My husband and I have this book that my parents gave us several years ago and we love it so we purchased one for our friends who live in Atlanta, GA and are just getting into birds and wanted to be able to identify the birds that visit their feeders.

The person recieving the book states it is the best. Excellent guide for the bird watcher. Great for new bird watchers. This was a gift as I already have one. He has other books, but this is the best.
