Brilliantly In-depth
I got this book as a birthday gift for my best friend, and she (and I) both absolutely love it! It is extremely in-depth, and as serious birders, we love everything about it. We first saw it in a Wildlife Refuge headquarters office on a birding trip in Texas, and greatly admired it. Now, we are so extremely happy that we own it. This is a book for anyone who enjoys the struggles of "real", rugged, adventurous birding out in the wilderness. Often, all you see of the birds you are searching for are bits and pieces hidden in the dense leaves. Many a Lifer I have identified first by tail alone. And this book covers the Warbler group in the United States from every angle; even underneath! I have often said I should start my own bird book called "The Back Ends of Birds", as that is so typically ... I got this book as a birthday gift for my best friend, and she (and I) both absolutely love it! It is extremely in-depth, and as serious birders, we love everything about it. We first saw it in a Wildlife Refuge headquarters office on a birding trip in Texas, and greatly admired it. Now, we are so extremely happy that we own it. This is a book for anyone who enjoys the struggles of "real", rugged, adventurous birding out in the wilderness. Often, all you see of the birds you are searching for are bits and pieces hidden in the dense leaves. Many a Lifer I have identified first by tail alone. And this book covers the Warbler group in the United States from every angle; even underneath! I have often said I should start my own bird book called "The Back Ends of Birds", as that is so typically what you see when out in the forest. In this book, every angle of each warbler is covered, with many photographs from many perspectives. Undertail coverts are so important in identifying Warblers, and since that's so often all I see, (Warbler Neck much?) I am very happy about the authors' extensive inclusion of the undertail coverts, in photographs and in writing. My friend is also learning birdsong for all the bird species in this region, and this book even has pictures of the Warblers' songs, in sonograms! They give several different sonograms, highlighting different song types, for each Warbler, along with comparison species' sonograms alongside. And don't worry, the authors have gone to great lengths to thoroughly explain every aspect of the terminology used. Each Warbler in the book has its own section, with about 15 photographs, plus 4 "Distinctive Views" that highlight small pieces of the bird that you can see and accurately identify based on the tiny portion seen. Some species have more, with 10 pages dedicated to identifying bright vs. drab birds, while the others have 6. (I'm not going to go through and count each species; that just seems to be the pattern, 10 for bright vs. drab, 6 for "regular".) Another feature that I truly love is how much comparison is drawn between similarities; similar species, songs, habitats, walking styles, etc. (Yes, they even point out the habitat for each species!) Many "normal" bird field guides have illustrations based on averages; the bird "usually" looks like that, so it is depicted like that. But many birds vary greatly in plumage, so much so that one will often think they are looking at another bird entirely. This book covers those differences, and even has at least one page dedicated to similar species in all plumages! For example, I had no idea based on looking at regular field guides that Pine Warblers can look extremely (and alarmingly) similar to Prairie Warblers and Palm Warblers in some plumages and from certain angles. Now I want to go through all my bits and pieces of Pine Warblers I photographed on a birding trip taken a couple of months ago to make sure no Prairie Warblers were involved! Aside from just the main section given to each Warbler species, there are many supplemental portions, such as in-flight pictures, "What to Notice on a Warbler", "How to Listen to Warbler Songs" and calls, and "Quick Finder"s for face, side, 45-degree view, under view, East Spring, East Fall, and West. There is also a fun segment about similar non-warbler species, hybrids, and a short quiz to see what you have learned. This book is very thorough, and very well-laid-out. I cannot sing its praises enough. A huge thanks to the authors, Tom and Scott, for producing such a masterpiece. This is no book for someone who wishes for a quick field guide to identify a few feeder birds (many Warblers never visit feeders, anyway). This is an intensive study on what truly makes each Warbler in the U.S. its own species, and how to accurately identify them in the wild. If anyone expresses any interest in learning more about those tiny, sometimes yellowish birds that they can never fully see, or if they really love birds and enjoy learning more about them, then this book is definitely for them! One more highlight: the species are all in alphabetical order. YAY! You don't have to know your (ever-changing) taxonomy to easily locate the Warbler you're searching for. This book is one of the best finds I've ever come across. Five stars!
