A Bird Book with Wings

This beautiful little handbook has it all: Spectacularly beautiful photos, migration maps, checklists, pertinent info, ease of use, and a very portable size that won't slow you down in the field. I'm not an expert birder, just an enthusiastic one; this book and a set of binoculars have combined to give great pleasure. Young people, and the young of heart, that are getting interested in birdwatching in Oregon should start right here! Birds of Oregon is a solid pleasure to own, quite simply a winner.

Impressive Oregon Bird Book

This is an excellent, information-packed little book--compact and comprehensive, with brightly colored pictures that make bird recognition fast and easy.

Best Field Guide book!

I like this book because it is simple and easy to use. Because it is color coded by birds. Its great for the beginner birder. Plus it let's you check off the birds you have seen in the back of the book. I would definatly recommend this book to any beginner birder as their first book of purchase!

Thorough, Easy To Use, Compact -- Perfect for Everyone!

While I've used a number of more general wildlife guides, both in the Northwest U.S., and in travels around the world, I've never used one focused solely on birding. Thus, my short review must be taken with a grain of salt. However, I am repeatedly amazed at how fast I find a bird that's suddenly come within view. Further, I've yet to come across a bird in Oregon that I haven't been able to find in this book. AND The book is small enough to lug along on short backpacking trips -- as long as you're not also lugging a load of novels that must be read while sitting alone, next to a Cascadian mountain lake, of course.

Great photos, great info, great coverage

This is the best field guide I've ever seen, for any state, region or country. Birds are grouped by color, making it easy for the novice birder. Includes large color photograph of every bird with separate pictures to differentiate females and juveniles. In addition to basic information, interesting behaviorial tidbits are included for each species. I could not be happier with this book.
