This book is simply fantastic! Color illustrations and text really help with common identification problems. Should be required reading for every birder. Even if you have been birding for years you will learn something new, and yet this book is super friendly to begining birders.

Identify Yourself: The 50 Most Common Birding Identification Challenges
What a great little book. This is the first book to read before starting your field trips, and the perfect size to take with you. I wish I would have had this book years ago. It would have save a lot of wear and tear on my brain, especially when trying to identify Gulls. Bill Thompson has a remarkable sense of humor. He seems to know exactly where to throw in some comic relief, and Julie Zickefoose makes any would be illustrator drool in frustration as you look slack-jawed at her beautiful illustrations. I only hope you two geniuses have plans for another book.

This rates 5 stars for my purposes. It identifies birds, as it is supposed to do. Maybe I would rate it lower if I knew more about birds, and compared this books with 5 similar books with the same stated purpose.
Other books have much more information, but would one want to carry around a much larger, heavier book? This book is for a novice. Others should get a small book like this to carry around, and a more thorough book to keep at home.

I purchased this last spring to help with migrants moving through my area. It helped with Warblers, Thrushes and Vireos a lot! In those brief seconds when the bird is in view, now I know what to look for to aid in identification, I love it and I’m buying a copy for a birding friend. Recommended for the advanced beginner.

As a bird fan, I really wanted to get this to help me learn as much as possible about feathered friends, and it sure does deliver! One disappointment however, it left out some species that summer here in the last frontier!!Other than that, this is a great book! Good for yourself,or as a gift for that birder you know!!!
