• Arizona Birds 20 January, 2008
This book is very informative about the various birds of Arizona. The photos are great and it is one of the better books on the birds of the area that I have seen.

• Well Organized 12 October, 2008
My kids like the way the book divides the birds by color, not by name or type. That way, they can easily look up 'that grey bird with the red head' and find out what kind it is.

• Missing Some Fairly Common Species But Useful With Other Guides 24 April, 2008
I live in Phoenix (central AZ). I've just gotten beyond the totally novice birdwatcher and found that this book does not cover some of the species I see quite frequently such as the ash-throated and brown-crested flycatchers, great egret and bushtit (as well as the hummingbirds mentioned in another post - rufous and allens being two I have seen). It's also missing some less common birds I see in my local area: canvasback, blue-grey gnatcatcher, eared grebe. However, I do use the book in combination with other guides such as the SIbley Guide to Birds (best reference) and the Petersen Field Guide "Western Birds".

• Really A Poor Choice To Make When Buying A Field Guide For Birds 08 October, 2008
There are a number of State Bird Guides in this series.
I have written a detailed review one of them,"Birds of California" on August 5,20"08 explaining why this is a poor choice.
This one , Birds of Arizona" similar in all respects except its for a different state.
While there may be some reviewers who rate it highly,I suggest you read my comments ,as well as others, who have given low marks for this as well as others in the series.

• Stay Away From Stan Tekiela!!!!!!!!!! 15 November, 2008
If you travel and you want a good field guide for a local area or state that you will be visiting AVOID these field guides. They are written for people under the age of 10. The species are all found in major cities in virtually every US state and you will not be able to locate ANY of the birds that you were hoping to find.
This man provides exhaustive and extensive descriptions of mourning doves for every state that he writes a book, but if you want to find out about flycatchers or hummingbirds in Arizona, FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I once purchased one of these field guides before a trip to Florida. It was the biggest waste of time, money and effort. Avoid these books at all costs.
