This subject guide is a nice dimension that’s easy to hold round, has multiple drawn photos of every bird in addition to a brief textual content and vary map for each – The text usually starts out with saying if the fowl is frequent or not after which goes into where they nest, winter etc. It talks about the typical meals, if they’re solitary or not. One factor I like too is that it typically tells if the chook is native or non-native to the US which I find particularly interesting. Voice/tune can also be discussed in the text. Wonderful reference book. I maintain one in the house and one in the car. Highly advisable!

I purchased this book as a result of I live in the Northeast. However, I used to be shocked to find that this version truly has more species of birds, together with those who dwell within the West or South, with ranges via and together with Mexico. This was an exquisite surprise as I really travel fairly a bit, so I don’t have to buy additional editions of Sibley’s chook books.

As to the content of Sibley’s guide, there is none better. His illustrations are excellent, and descriptions are just wonderful. He describes ranges, eating habits, whether the hen tends to be solitary or fly in groups (flocks), nesting, coloration, etc. Better of all, I really like how he shows the fowl in a multitude of positions, from standing to flight, so that for those who saw a glint of the hen in a distinct point of view, you possibly can still determine it using this guide. Prime ratings.
