For any bird watcher, bird photographer or Ornithologist this book can be very helpful especially when helps you make an easy visual comparison with the 275 illustrations and perhaps find out that you’ve seen or photographed a rare species. I couldn’t help to notice that some of these rare birds have resemblance to birds already in our own list of birds.
I believe that many of us will get very curious to see if we have a rare bird in our lists. Being myself a photographer I will keep this book handy when I get any doubts about the ID or the appearance of a bird I have photograph.

That looks a good one – thanks for the heads-up. Interested in the Kirtland’s Warbler – the few remaining mostly live in Michigan and winter in the Bahamas. Very sensible too! RH
Thanks for sharing RH! 🙂
