AMNH Birds of North America (DK North American Bird Guides)

Most beautiful, knowledgeable and comprehensive book on birds in North America that I have ever seen. Great for bird lovers.

A beautiful book that will please every bird enthusiast. Comprehensive coverage with interesting information and great photography. A great gift for anyone, from the budding amateur to the most seasoned birder.

I bought this for my mother and she loves it .

If you like birds, this book needs to be in your collection. In-depth descriptions, clear photos, and detailed drawings of every conceivable bird found in the US.

It's a great book. I've got a couple different books on birds of NA, and this one certainly doesn't disappoint. You won't be taking it with you on hikes as it's pretty hefty, but it is a great book to have back at home for when you want to look up and do some research on whatever birds you spot. There's also a few pages on different bird related topics like migration patterns, and bird anatomy. Every bird gets their own page as well with detailed images, and each with an image of them in flight. Some books don't always add a photo of the birds in flight, which is a useful point of view as there are feather patterns and colors that can be hidden when the bird has their wings closed. Again, it's a great book with some awesome detail. I'd recommend the purchase if it's a bird book you're looking for

First things first - this book is BIG! And by big, I mean physically large and also very heavy. I think it's over 700 pages. And the paper is thick. It's very well made. That being said, this is surely not something you'll take with you in a trip or for a hike. But this is perfect to stay stationary at my window seat, so that I can quickly identify birds as they arrive at my feeder. This book is also beautiful, and comprehensive. It even breaks down what other similar birds you may mistake for the one you're looking at. The pictures are beautiful, most birds show the male and female, some the juveniles as well. It even shows flying style! And it came with a code for an app which lets you hear all of the birds' songs. I got this to help my two young homeschooled children learn more about birds, but it's been a joy for all of us. Even my long-time bird loving mother said its the best bird book she's ever seen!

This is a most complete, massive, and comprehensive text on BIRDS! It is very heavy and worthy of the voluminous copy and graphic work! Its excellent!Unfortunately !! poor product packaging found this huge book loose and banging about … AND!! the spine is broken with front hard cover near torn completely off !! The book is five star … delivery and packaging not so much. I will not return it and have heavy-duty taped the cover back. These things happen… millions of items packaged and sent out for delivery… I feel fortunate to have received it at all and I will manage. Again, this is an incredibly excellent book as most DK books are…

This book has absolutely beautiful bird pictures in it and set up in family order. I purchased this for my husband who is seeing many different birds right out of our window. We have a bird feeder out there and he refers to this book when he thinks he has seen something different. Very nice book I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about the birds in north America.

Es un libro algo general, que muestra las aves de Norteamérica para personas que no son ornitólogos profesionales. En algunas especies no están ilustradas todas las formas sexuales o edades.

Easy to understand and great illustrations
