This guide book successfully organized birds by field-recognizable features which allows for quick identification. For lake of a better method, previous bird guides have traditionally placed birds in scientific naming classification sequencing, (ie: Order, Family, Genus, Species), resulting in a classic Birder's Dilemma: You have to recognize the bird before you can look it up in the guide. This guide, however, endeavors to arrange the bird species in a classification according to their feeding, size, habitat and etc. I have found that by doing the arranging this way helps to determine the type of bird it is and where it fits in to the creation as a whole. The only thing that this book lacks is the scientific naming sequencing. It has the Genus and Species with each bird, but if it would have included the Order and Family, this would have been more helpful, making this book even better and it would have gotten a five star from me.Read full review
