North American Field Guide

[Helen Larson <>]

I second Nikolas' recommendation. Having a Yankee husband, we regularly visit 
his family (though they don't always understand why we sometimes visit during 
warbler migration time and not Fourth of July holiday time). Having both those 
books is a good idea (Sibley especially for those puzzling sparrows and gulls).
If you have an iphone, Audubon has a good field guide "app" with maps, photos 
and calls etc as does iBird Pro. 
Texas is an odd-shaped large state with many habitats and lots of neat birds. 
And lots of cheerfully crazy people. In LA the people are just plain crazy.

Brendan,

If you are not familiar with the American avifauna I'd recommend to bring the 
'big' Sibley and the 5th or 6th edition of the National Geographic field guide. 
The former is more comprehensive regarding the drawings, the latter regarding 
the texts.
For bird sites I would use the ABA bird finding guides.

Cheers,

Nikolas

I am travelling on a whirl wind tour of North American in August, across the 
south of the continent from LA to Miami before heading to Alaska. 
   I am hoping people have some advice on what bird guide best covers America 
in it entirety. I have seen online that most series now have a accompanying 
electronic guide.
   I have read that the national geographic series and the Sibley series are 
quite good.
   Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
   Also information on bird sites are also welcome.
   Thanks
