Outstanding resource for birding in our warbler season of migration through the city area. Excellent illustrations and distribution maps. Text is very extensive and the coated pages make the book an "at home" resource rather than riding around in my backpack. ( ) The review complaining about a lack of photographs may be misleading to people who don't have the book. Like most field guides, it is not a photographic guide. (Some people prefer photos, many prefer drawings, and this is not the place for that particular discussion.) There is certainly no dearth of *illustrations* -- the plate section shows multiple plumages for every North American breeding species of warblers (even the almost certainly extinct Bachman's), and the plate showing the undertails of all species is invaluable for identifying warblers from the less-than ideal views most of us actually get. Most of the book, however, is devoted to detailed species accounts, with a few photographs in this section. While this information is a very useful reference, it does make the book unwieldy to use as a true "field guide"; it's more at home on the shelf next to Big Sibley than in your pack with your favorite general field guide. My solution (in which I'm sure I'm not alone) was to make a color copy of the undertail plates (just two pages) and keep it in my general-purpose field guide, and keep this volume at home as a reference. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The first comprehensive field guide to North American warblers describes all 60 species in detail, from field marks and vocalizations to mating habits and preferred habitats. The 32 color paintings use the unique Peterson Identification System to indicate what distinguishes one bird from another. 141 color photographs show various plumages for each species, and 60 large color maps show species' ranges.
