What our customer's say!

"Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America", This is an awesome book for birders with a lot of detail and illustrations on each type of bird. I would recommend it.

"Loved it!", I think this is an excellant bird guide. I'd recommend it to anyone who is just starting out as a birder or is a lifetime lover of birds.

"The perfect gift!", I purchased this book for my fiance's birthday, as we're new to the birdwatching world. It's aboslutely wonderful, and we'll use it for many years to come.

"The very best!", I bought this book for my little brother in California for his birthday. He has just started getting in to watching the different birds and trying to identifying them by there calls. He really loves this guide book. For any body woh getes in to bird watching, Sibley field guide is a must have...

"The BEST field guide", I own every book on bird identification that I have been able to find for birds of the western United States. This is by far the one I use the most. I've purchased it for several of my birding friends, keep a copy at my home site and one in my truck. One of the points that makes Sibley's guide so useful is that there are no actual photographs of birds. He has drawings that give the "more common" colorations of each species. Photographs seldom yield such a wide spectrum of coloration. I use other bird guides because they have good information, but Sibley's guide is the one most easy to use, and the most practical for really knowing the bird you are identifying.

"Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America", The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America is the companion volume to The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America.

The Western volume covers the 703 bird species found west of the Rocky Mountains. As with any bird field guide, the user wants comprehensive, easily accessible, clear information that make identifications quick and indisputable. Sibley's field guides cover all the species within the range of the volume arranging the birds in vertical columns on the page with most two-page spreads showing four species. This means that there is room for large detailed, beautiful illustrations with field marks for the diagnostic features. These marks are extremely helpful for the new birder to show what to look for and how to distinguish one species from another. This arrangement is particularly helpful when confronted with the terrible and mysterious LBJs or little brown jobs. The reader can make quick comparisons between similar species.

The text covers key identification characteristics and field marks that are marked on the illustrations, whether the species is common, uncommon, rare, etc. to an area, nesting, behavior, food and feeding, and voice description. Accompanying the text is an excellent range map showing the bird's full North American distribution.

The inside of the front cover gives a quick reference guide to the parts of a bird and the meanings of the various colors on the range maps. The inside of the back cover provides a map of the USA and Canada, i.e., what counts as North America for birding purposes. The first leaf inside the back cover is a Quick Index making the groups of species within the volume easily accessible.

The volume is compact enough to fit into a hip pocket with a bit of manoeuvring. Since it covers only part of North America, it is lighter than single volume field guide covering all of North America.

The Sibley field guides have two special features. One is that if there is some interesting or noteworthy characteristic about a bird or group of birds, Sibley put in a text box. For example, there is a text box on the Drinking Methods of Pigeon and Doves explaining that they are the only North American birds capable of siphoning water. The other is if a species is more common in the east say rather than the west, then the Eastern volume will have more illustrations and adjusts the text to reflect more about the species. For example, in the Western volume, the Blue Jay has four illustrations and the text starts with "uncommon", while in the Eastern volume the Blue Jay has five illustrations and the text starts out with "common".

A single field guide is never sufficient. A birder needs to compare the information and illustrations of two or more field guides. This and its companion volume are excellent choices for one of the guides and I highly recommend them.



"PRACTICAL AND DELIGHTFUL", This has become THE book I carry if I only have room for one on my birding trips. It fits easily in my fanny pack along with an extra pair of binoculars. I love it that it is specific to birds in Western North America, which is usually where I travel. The illustrations and habitat/migration maps surely help identify the birds, but a true highlight of this book is the prose. One need only visit pages 72-73 and read aloud the paragraphs on Dabbling and Diving Ducks to see what I mean.

"Great bird descriptions", This is a great book for idenitifying birds. The pictures are not of real pictures of birds, but they offer great identifying marks and views of many birds. Good book!

"Great book at a great price", I particularly like having the migration areas on the same page as the bird's description. I don't know why other books have these in the back of the book. I also think they do a better job than most books in showing both males and females as well as particular features of birds' appearances.

"Good for beginners", I bird in the NW US using this guide. I began birding in early 2007 and this was recommended by the master birders in my local Audubon society. I used a copy of a Peterson guide in Europe and the Sibley is much easier and logical. It's an excellent companion book to my own book, 40 Excuses to Get Together with the Girls if you're working on Excuse #10 (Because I want to know that bird's name).
