Summary: A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors
Comment: This is the best photographic guide to north american raptors available. The photos are very clear so you can see details on plumage. It also includes multiple photos of the species that have morphs, which is very helpful in the field. This is not a book I would recommend if you are using it for written reference. But I give it 5 stars for a field reference guide!
Rating: 5
Summary: Useful field guide, shows variability of morphs
Comment: This is simply the best field guide for North American diurnal raptors that I have seen. Unlike some other photgraphic guides, it provides several images of each species in poses that one is likely to see in the field: perched and soaring from above and the side (showing field marks of top of wing and tail). It shows several examples of different morphs and ages for most birds. This is critical in understanding the variability in markings within a species. In addition, it has a section on field identification problems, detailing differences between similar looking birds. To my knowledge, there is no substitute.
However, the paperback version is somewhat cheaply produced. The publisher should improve the binding and the quality of paper for this book. Try not to get it wet.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great place to start with raptor identification.
Comment: A good book to start your field and in hand bird identification specialty book shelf.
The pictures of birds flying over head are much improved over the paperback Peterson series book "Hawks" by Clark and Wheeler.
