Title: Lots of Info, maybe iffy in the field
Product review: Since my old copy of Golden's "Birds of North America" was the unfortunate victim of a flood (many of the pages got hopelessly stuck together), I decided to buy a new bird book. It came down to this book or the revised Golden Guide. What made me decide on this book is that it can easily fit in your pocket, it has a waterproof cover, and it has much more information about the various types of birds, including information about whether or not various species are declining and/or threatened or endangered. But I think the point that others have made, that the Golden Guide has more and slightly better illustrations, is well taken. Good overall guide, but probably not the best for the harder-to-identify species.
