Critically acclaimed for its innovative design, the Kaufman guide began introducing a new generation to birding. In 2005, this new Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America is now the most up-to-date field guide, including dozens of changes by the American Ornithologists’ Union in official names of birds; the addition of new species to reflect the latest scientific discoveries; and dozens of updated range maps. Additional information helps beginning birdwatchers get started, all in the same compact format that has made this guide the easiest to use for fast identification in the field. | | | Features: | |

 Another feather in the capJun 20, 2010
Not one bird guide is "it," the one and only one you will ever need. I find that this book is handy in the field, has more information than other field guides for trying to make IDs with not much to go on, and is written in a personable style as if the author has been behind your binoculars. It is a valuable supplement to other field guides.
Perfect...May 22, 2010
Well written book with information needed for any bird watcher. Quick service, packaged well. Thank you.
Best Bird BookMar 23, 2010
I purchased this book because I was having a problem identifying some small birds photographed in Southern Arizona. I'm not a birder but do take a lot of photos of birds while hiking. Some birds I just could not identify using the popular books. The day I received this book I was able to identify two birds which I had posted as 'unidentified' in my photo album. Great Book! Easy to use for an amateur like me.
Best single guide availableDec 15, 2009
I am a professional bird photographer and this is my primary go to guide for bird identification. Each of the major guide books (e.g., Kaufman, Sibley, National Geographic) -- I own all of them -- but I find Kaufman to have the best organization, the best information to aid in identification, and I find it easiest to identify based on photos rather than drawings. It is always good to confirm identifications with a second (or third) source as there are a lot of subtleties in the identification in many of the bird species; for this I usually use the Sibley guides. I don't like Sibley as much for my primary source for two reasons: 1) the drawings lack the detail of the images in Kaufman, and 2) there is a East and West edition of Sibley and since my time is divided between the East and West coasts I have to lug two books around rather than the single Kaufman that covers the entire US. Another very useful bird identification tool is [...] as well as the iPhone iBird family of apps (I am one of the staff photographers for these latter guides).
Good book, good service.Dec 08, 2009
Kenn Kaufman's birding field guide is the best one out there, We know because we have had one since it first came out. This purchase was for a gift and the book's condition was perfect and the prompt service appreciated,
