About The Sibley Guide to Birds, Second Edition:

Used by millions of birders from novices to the most expert, The Sibley Guide to Birds quickly became the standard by which natural history guides are measured. The highly anticipated second edition builds on this foundation of excellence, offering massively expanded and updated information, new paintings, new and rare species, and a new, elegant design.

The second edition of this handsome, flexibound volume offers a wealth of improvements and updates, including illustrations reproduced 15 to 20 percent larger for better detail, nearly 7,000 paintings digitally remastered from original art for enhanced print quality, expanded text that includes habitat information and voice description for every species and more tips on finding birds in the field, along with more than 600 new paintings, including illustrations of 115 rare species and additional paintings of common species and regional populations, and lots more. It brings the genius of David Allen Sibley to the world once again in a thoroughly updated and expanded volume that every birder must own.

My thoughts:

There are so many reasons to love this book! A copy of the Keys to the Species Accounts,Group Accounts and Range Maps is on the cover and first page for easy reference. The book is filled with a lot of useful material for bird enthusiasts such as classification of birds, equipment for birding, and finding rare birds and bird topography. The illustrations are clear and colorful, plus the Sibley Guide to Birds checklist is nice to have. I can't wait to take it with me to Colorado when we go camping there this  summer. We will be at a mountain lake so I am certain that I will get to view some new birds I haven't seen before. As a bird lover I highly recommend getting a copy of this very informative guide.
