The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America, current favorite..

Fun fact: This Pileated Woodpecker photo on the back of The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America was taken by Lillian Stokes, at the Sanibel, FL, Lighthouse park. The bird flew off a tree (not at a nest) and Lillian got the photo.

We continue to get praise for our new field guide. Here is some of the latest:

"Each of the last four years has brought us a new photographic field guide to the birds of North America. They’ve each had their merits, but The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America is my current favorite photo-based guide. It is an excellent reference that is worth having even if you already have a dozen other NA field guides."

From, The Birder's Library Book Reviews

"I've had it a short time and won't leave home without it. I already find myself reaching for it first when I've got a perplexing sighting to resolve or I want more information on a particular species. I could go on and on about this excellent birding resource."

Patty

"An outstanding guide, the many pictures of birds with different molting conditions as well as the pithy comments make this guide an essential for birders. The section on Gulls alone makes this worthwhile."

P. Mishell

"Beautiful Pictures, excellent descriptions, and a sweet surprise.,

We ordered this item as a Christmas gift for my mother and am now thinking of ordering a second for our home."
