| David Allen Sibley, National Audubon Society’s Sibley Guide to Birds | The Sibley Guide isn't aimed at beginning bird watchers attempting to identify a bird in the field. While even absolute beginners will appreciate Sibley's exquisite watercolors, this is primarily a visual reference and not a how-to-do-it key. Birds are in taxonomic order, and there is serious discussion and depiction of races within a species, something that will baffle novices. But for intermediate and advanced birders, or for serious beginners, this is a nearly perfect guide. |  |
