By partnering with the Smithsonian Institution and by using the popular photographically-rich design of the DK Handbook series, the books [Smithsonian Handbooks of Birds of North America (Eastern Region and Western Region)] promise to catch the attention of veteran and novice birders. With 750-plus pages per handbook, each species receives it's own full-page profile, including a concise overview and color photos. The books also cover songs, behavior, breeding, population and conservation issues. (Birder's World, June 2001)

    Smithsonian handbooks, Birds of North America, Eastern region

    This is a publication that has been around for a while, and is my second copy, of the eastern region version. It is a reliable, go to, reference, for an amateur (in my case) "birder", with quality pictures, song and flight descriptions and color coded, seasonal habitat illustrations. My initial copy is worn and showing the effects of several years use, with notes and dates of sightings, throughout.

    Nice book, price okay, but flimsy binding (reissue - no tight cloth binding like the originals).

    DK Smithsonian Bird Book

    The DK books are excellent bird reference books. It's not really a field guide.
