Hi Rob,
I agree with Dick, it's a great and manageable field guide and I also found it
very satisfactory when there last Dec.
I found Amazon couldn't provide it at the time in case you have trouble finding
it - but had very satisfactory service from NHBS. That's of course if you don't
want to take the risk of finding it on arrival.
(Look forward to some "sensory overload" with Hummers and Tanagers!)
