With the first edition of this book, published in 1934, Peterson introduced the concept of field marks. These are distinguishing features (labeled with arrows on his drawings) that allow the observer to identify the bird using binoculars. Previously, even professional ornithologists often used a shotgun to collect an identity an unusual bird. Peterson’s guide and the availability of good optics, binoculars and telescopes, acted as an accelerant on the popularity of bird watching, or birding as it is often called. The guide features Peterson’s wonderful paintings which show the idealized bird, with distinctive field marks, like a bright eye stripe, highlighted by an arrow. The illustrations are fairly large, with a facing page written description and range map. Typically, both male and female of the species are shown, and in some cases immatures. For some species, illustrations include views of the flying bird. It’s an excellent tool to start learning about birds. There are numerous other field guides, David Allen Sibley has another excellent guide using his paintings of the birds. Sibley tries to show all plumages of each species . As a result, the images are smaller. The guide includes a written description and range maps too. Both Sibley and Peterson are fine artists in addition to being ornithologists. Other field guides use digital photos of the birds rather than paintings. Both Kenn Kaufman and Richard Crossley have published guides using this method. The Crossley guide includes photos of birds as they appear at far distance, a feature that sometimes helps with that bird at the limit of view. Finally, there are is the Merlin bird app from Cornell University. This one helps you identify the bird by asking a few questions and then presents a series of likely birds for you to consider. It ends with a button that says “That’s my bird”. Merlin links to other photos of females and immatures, and written text about habitat and range. So there are many field guide options, and every birder has a favorite. Personally, I tend to go to Peterson first, and still flip through it looking at various species I might run across in the field. But, I use the others frequently too. They all help made one a better birder. My on complaint about this edition of Peterson is the size, too big to easily fit in a pants pocket, but that’s very minor. I’d also encourage birders to study each bird, learn to make notes, rely on you impressions to identify a bird rather than constantly flipping back and from guide book to bird. It will make you a better birder. One true benefit of the popularity of birding is it takes you through a series of steps from wonder at the beauty of the bird, to anticipation of when you’ll see it, to concern about conservation of the species . Over the forty years I’ve been birding, there has been an alarming decline in the number of birds. Hopefully new readers of the Peterson guide will take that journey, and become advocates for preserving the diversity of birds in their neighborhood.. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of Eastern & Central North America, Seventh Ed.
