Now comes a new portable guide from David Sibley that every birder will want to carry into the field. Compact and comprehensive, this new guide features 650 bird species plus regional populations found east of the Rocky Mountains. Accounts include stunningly accurate illustrations—more than 4,200 in total—with descriptive caption text pointing out the most important field marks. Each entry contains new text concerning frequency, nesting, behavior, food and feeding, voice description, and key identification features. Accounts also include brand-new maps created from information contributed by 110 regional experts across the continent.

Of all the guide books that I own on birds, this one is the most compact yet thorough. The pictures are bright and close to realistic.

As a blossoming birder, I was trained in school on the Sibley Eastern and Western guides, (the Western I bought for myself my first trip to Arizona, so was my faith in the Eastern guide). This book is jam-packed with the essential information perfect for beginners, skipping the annoyances of having to seek out glossaries every turn of the page. The down-to-earth presentations of the birds makes it a must-have in every field bag! (Note: I am on my second copy. I tend to wear out the bindings on an average of one every other year.) The only downside is that it isn't water-friendly and care must be taken in the field to avoid moisture.
