My 1966 Golden Field Guide($3.95) is coming unglued. We've used this reference for 40 years from homes in the Northeast, East, Southwest and Southeast U.S. Our life bird list is impressive due to this guide.
It provides multiple ways to help you differentiate among birds in the same family. This reference book has never let us down.

This book is not bad. It thankfully has been updated since the 80s, as I had heard that it was horridly out of date. The illustrations are a tad fuzzy,and they used one illustration to depict two species in a few instances, which is very frustrating, but overall it is a pretty good guide. I use it as a reference book. It has a few extras, like silhouettes of the birds, and sonograms of songs, and pages showing all the sparrows/ warblers on one page, for at-a-glance comparisons. If you are a new birder, skip this and buy the National Geographic guide or the Stokes guide. If you are an intermediate to advanced birder, get this. It's a good book to have around, just in case.
