Editorial Reviews

Paul A. Johnsgard
[The first edition of this book was] far better than the guide to birds nests by Hal Harrison in the well-known Peterson field guide series. All told, this book will be of great usefulness to field ornithologists, and, if larger than most field guides, it nonetheless is well worth hauling along in a knapsack or glove compartment. It also belongs in personal and institutional libraries, especially those lacking the earlier edition.

Birders Journal
A valuable asset to anyone interested in nesting biology and the identification of eggs, nests and young.
British Birds
This is a fine guide and I certainly would not be without it if I lived in North America.
— Humphrey Q. P. Crick
Star Tribune
I was happy to see the best source on the subject reissued. . . . [It] gives you non-intrusive entry into the breeding world of birds, a most interesting place.
— Jim Williams
Birder's World
