An illustrated field guide to 320 of the most common or notable species found in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Each account covers habitat, nesting, feeding, voice, best sites for viewing, similar species and includes a range map.
This is a beautiful book, and its focus on MN/WI makes it very usable. Each species is illustrated with one large, detailed drawing; I'd appreciate having more drawings to show the different appearances at different times of the year.
The be-all and end-all of birds in Minnesota and surrounding areas. Easy to reference...I got the one that came with the CD of bird sounds and now have the calls on my I-pod (just in case)
