Book Reviews of The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America
Book Review: The go-to guide for birders
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent reference for birders living in the eastern half of the U.S. It contains detailed species information and key field marks for identification. I only found two drawbacks - I prefer photographs of birds rather than drawings, although drawings can show specific field marks that might not be visible in photographs, and the range maps are a bit small for local birding.
This is a must-have guide for birders, although I think that a guide with photos would be better if you are just starting out or want to give a book as a gift to get someone started in birding.
Marshall Faintich, author of "A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Wintergreen"
