Every home with kids needs a bird guide

Still the best in its field
I've owned a previous edition of this field guide (it fell into a pond), and I think this continues as the clearest, most practical North American field guide I've found.

Great usable field guide
Love the new National Geographic field guide! The tabs are wonderful - would be even better if there were more. The flip index in the back is even more helpful. I've used National Geo field guides for years and this is the best yet!
