National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds: West

Rating:
Summary: Do not leave home without it!
Review: We purchased our first Field Guide almost twenty years ago when my eldest son was in the fifth grade and during spring break his class had a contest to see which student could identify the most species. It just happened that week we packed our family in the car and drove from the deserts of Idaho, through eastern Oregon and the Mahuer National Bird Sanctuary to the Oregon coast. If my memory serves me right, we identified nearly a hundred species of birds. This started a twenty-year love affair with our Field Guide to North American Birds. We were hooked. So much so, after losing my book, I immediately purchased another one. To his day, my Field Guide and binoculars are by our dinning room window. Each spring and summer we try to identify new species to our area. Hey, birding a great hobby and it does not cost a lot of money.
