Summary: Great for kids & beginners
Review: This book turned me from a passive bird observer into a bird watcher. Our children were so excited to be able to find the birds themselves using the color coding.

Summary: my first bird book
Review: This is the first book I bought to help me identify birds. I know a lot of birds because of previous knowledge of what certian birds look like. I bought this book, because I had birds comming to the ffeders at my house in which, I could not identify. This book helped me a lot. It is easy to use. It gives tips on how to attract certian birds. It helps you know what the birds' songs are like. It also has a map showing you where each bird is normally found. This book is worth spending the money on it, especially if you enjoy watching birds.

Summary: French Version by Broquet
Review: While in Quebec, I purchased Stokes: Guide to Birds of North America, eastern region. The Broquet publishers have done a dedicated job translating this guide. I wanted it in French since the species traveling over "language bounderies" would understandably assume different names. What made me select THIS book over others is that it not only included the English/N. American name of the species but also the binomial nomenclature, which many Canadian books were missing.
Even if your French is minimal, I highly recommend this book if your traveling in Quebec because not every aviary identifies these species in English.
