National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds: Eastern Region - Revised Edition
Introduced in 1977 and completely revised in 1994, these bestselling photographic field guides have become the birding bibles of more than four million enthusiasts. Virtually every bird found in North America is brought to life in a full-color photograph and with textual information on the bird's voice, nesting habits, habitat, range, and interesting behaviors. Accompanying range maps; overhead flight silhouettes; sections on bird-watching, accidental species, and endangered birds make these the most comprehensive field guides to birds available. Covering 508 bird species found east of the Rocky Mountains, the revised second edition takes into account changes in taxonomy and uses improved photography. At the heart of the guide is a set of 646 well-made color photographs whose subjects are organized by easily discerned characteristics (e.g., "chicken-like marsh birds," such as the clapper rail; "gull-like birds," such as the kittiwake; and "upright-perching water birds," such as the common murre). The photographs are then keyed to textual descriptions of the birds' appearance, range and habitat, nesting characteristics, and behavior. Easy to use and handsomely produced, this belongs in every eastern birdwatcher's collection. --Gregory McNamee
Note: the Eastern Edition generally covers states east of the Rocky Mountains, while the Western Edition covers the Rocky Mountain range and all the states to the west of it.

- great field guide
I love these books. I have found with field guides that it is always good to have more than one because they all lack information, but this is definitely a good one to have. Very small and lightweight.

- An easy to use field guide with good pictures and descriptions
I have had this book for years but only started using it when I moved to a house on a lake. I don't know how it compares to other bird books but it has worked out great for me identifying "duck-like" birds. It is divided into sections...

We just had to know the names of all the birds we see at the lake. This book is an excellent way to accomplish that.

- Eastern Field Guide
This book, like the Western Guide, is easy to take with you but it also suffers from, what is to us, photos that aren't all that easy to compare with what we see. We had a difficult time trying to identify a woodpecker we saw because the...
