Title: Some notes on NG's Field Guide, 3rd edition.
Review: The revised NG Field Guide is good in that it updates new names and splits, etc. but many of the pictures leave a lot to be desired, especially the hummingbirds, which are terrible! We only use it as a back up to Peterson or others. Also for some reason the author decided to re-order the 'natural' order of 'orders' so that this guide does not follow most other guides and is confusing to use occasionally. Maps are good but not entirely accurate or tend to show smaller, more limited ranges than actually is the case. Overall, a very good beginning guide for those new to birding because it is simpler [and less technical] to use. Enjoy! The bird world and the natural world is waiting for you!
