According to the New York Times, some authorities predict that by 2050 there will be more than 100 million and the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America will be the essential reference for field identification and the cornerstone of any birder's library. This is the ultimate, indispensable bird field guide comprehensive...

Here, the editors have compiled essays from leading ornithologists on bird anatomy, ethology and behavior to round out bird-watchers' knowledge. This National Audubon Society publication details the 80 families of birds found in North America...

Much less comprehensive and more condensed than Sibley's book - but still valuable, especially for beginners - is Kenn Kaufman's Birds of North America . Kaufman has taken 2,000 photographs and digitally revised and enhanced them to clarify identification. There are two schools of thought about field guides.
