 Rating:  - Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Eastern RegionThe book was fine - just what I ordered. I was disappointed it took approx. 9 days to arrive because I had wanted to give it for a birthday gift. However, the book was in good condition just like the website said it was. Rating: - Good guide. Organization is a bit odd.Great guide, with good information, but the species ordering within each color-coded section is by development timeframe! Not exactly useful, and I can't imagine what the authors were thinking. The best aspect of this guide is pictures and text that appear on the same page. There is interesting commentary on some species groupings, but unfortunately not on all. There is a useful quick guide inside the back cover for common species. My wife and I find that we need both this guide ... Read More Rating:  - simple bird bookWe were looking for a concise, easy to use bird book, and this one works fine. I would have preferred drawings of the birds, but the pictures in here are good. the quick identification guide at the front covers most of the birds that come to our feeder, the remainder of the pages cover pretty much everything we see while hiking/driving/etc Rating: - Stokes Field Guide to BirdsAfter going to the beach and not knowing what a lot of the bird were called, then getting a reference from someone there to get this book. I'm glad that I did. My son earned a silver star by learning about quite a few birds that are listed in this book. I highly recommend this book. Rating: - A pretty good bird book.This book has good images and descriptions but lacks something that Roger Tory Peterson has. It also has something Peterson lacks so I enjoy using both. My wife and I live on seven acres of Maryland farm-land and enjoy many birds that are described well in one book or the other, so we use both. The best part of the Stokes book is the CD of bird calls that goes with it. We have identified a couple birds that we wouldn't have been able to do without it.
