The Easy Bird Guide: Eastern Region: A Quick Identification Guide for All Birders
I bought this book for my girlfriend who wanted a good bird book. It’s been phenomenal.
The picture comparison of the birds are excellent and detailed, as well as the descriptions being brief, informative, and to the point. Easy to identify birds in a moment after a brief glimpse of the actual birds.
I highly recommend this book, and this is from someone who didn’t really know much about birds at all from a technical stand point. “Blue” or “brown, mostly” is good enough to find what you are looking for.

I ordered this book as a gift for my mom and she loves it! I looked through it before sending it to her. The cover is indestructible, the pages don’t stick together, the illustrations are fantastic. I think this would also be a great book for children who are interested in birds. It’s very informative and easy to read. There’s even a section in the book that shows you what the bird looks like flying in the distance (so you can tell by the way they hold their wings whether they’re an Eagle or a Vulture.) Great book. Thank you!

This bird guide is very well arranged, grouping everything from songbirds to gamebirds to raptors (hawks, etc.) according to primary color and habitat. Also provides numerous extras to aid in identifying bird types as well as individual species. The illustrations are top quality. While not comprehensive, the book covers all the birds you’re likely to see in your backyard, nearby woods, ponds and streams, and makes it easy to look them up. Recommended, especially for beginners.

I bought this guide for a beginner and found it to be surprisingly good! It has very good drawings, good ID, habitat, range and season info, all in a lightweight, compact book with a lifetime guaranteed binding and water-resistant cover! It does not include all the birds in the Eastern region, but it does have all the most common-253 in all, which is just about most. It is fairly easy to use, for beginner and intermediate alike, as it arranges birds by color, habitat, behavior and pattern. It has useful tips for becoming a birder, feeding/attracting birds and even a small section on binoculars. Nothing seems too overwhelming. I would buy this book again!
