Review

By partnering with the Smithsonian Institution and by using the popular photographically-rich design of the DK Handbook series, the books [Smithsonian Handbooks of Birds of North America (Eastern Region and Western Region)] promise to catch the attention of veteran and novice birders. With 750-plus pages per handbook, each species receives it's own full-page profile, including a concise overview and color photos. The books also cover songs, behavior, breeding, population and conservation issues. (Birder's World, June 2001)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bird book of north american birds

J.c.m.C. · July 24, 2025

The photographs are large and on each picture the identifying marks are indicated on every bird itself. You don't have to read all the text for things to look for. On each page there is also a date, time and location line to fill in if you like keeping records of the birds you see.I had seen a hawk on a low branch in my yard, watching the undergrowth intently. It dropped down and snagged a vole. While it was hunting, I could see its' tail, which had large black and white bands. Looking through that section of the book, the only one that had those bands on its' tail in my area is a broad-winged hawk. I had never seen one before, so I made mental notes and was able to find it quickly. This book is well worth the price.

B. · July 2, 2014

This is a great book. Have the western region as well, although I don't seem much difference between them. Al kinds of birds that are only in the west that show up here as well.I like the extensive behaviour section, great photos and nice organization. I use this book with others to give me a well rounded birding guide. Add www.allaboutbirds.org and I am well set.

I did not know we had that many birds in N.A.
