Title: not a real field guide
Review: This is not a real book, and it is not good for identification purposes. It is simply a "recipe" collection of very generic, somewhat outdated "species accounts" which are packaged by the state. It is a money making scheme. If you want a field guide, get Sibley, Kaufman, Peterson, American Bird Conservancy... there are so many good ones. Skip this.As another drawback, this uses photography, rather than artwork. Photographs are well-known to be poor for ID purposes. Kaufman is the only photo guide that comes close to usable.
