What Customers Say About National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition:

Thebook is so interesting that you can sit and read it for enjoyment or reach for it to make a positive identification. This is an excellent resource for someone like me who has a lot of interest in birds but not much knowledge. It was recommended by a friend who is much more knowledgeable than I am. The illustrations are really well-done and the information for each species is on the same page as the illustration.
I find this Bird Book very helpful in the names and changes of groups of birds and also the index of the book is very helpful.
Condition of book as described- new with small remainder mark on bottom. The book arrived in perfect condition. I have had problems with the way other sellers ship their books and have had to return a couple of purchases in the past. Other than that, it looks brand new. Will order from this seller again.
For North America this is the very best of the best.each edition provides geographic as well as phylogenetic updates.
This was a required text for my bird watching field class. The pictures are very detailed and I especially like the range maps for each bird. Small and lightweight so you can carry along on your adventure.
