Excellent field guide

This field guide was very useful during our recent inspection of our Alaskan property. It's small size makes it easy to carry while hiking in the forest, and it contains all the most common birds you might see throughout the state. We were able to quickly identify and differentiate the birds we spotted using this guide. Now, if they could only come out with a bird song guide (on CD/DVD obviously) it would be even easier to identify the local birds!!

Alaska Birds

I have several of these for my class. Great for bird identification for kids!
