Smithsonian handbooks, Birds of North America, Eastern region
This is a publication that has been around for a while, and is my second copy, of the eastern region version. It is a reliable, go to, reference, for an amateur (in my case) "birder", with quality pictures, song and flight descriptions and color coded, seasonal habitat illustrations. My initial copy is worn and showing the effects of several years use, with notes and dates of sightings, throughout.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nice book, price okay, but flimsy binding (reissue - no tight cloth binding like the originals).
