The Bird Guides for Nature Enthusiasts American Bird Conservancy Compact Guides focus on the birds that can be observed at specific sites. With illustrations by American's finest bird artists, a handy, pocket-sized format and a groundbreaking organization system derived from the definitive North American bird guide, ABC's All the Birds of North America, they are simply the most useful bird guides available. All the Birds of Prey tells you everything you need to know about the migrating raptors you'll see at over 1,000 hawk-watching sites across the country. It features: Highly informative entries on 46 species. Spectacular, full-color paintings of birds in their natural habitats that set new standards for beauty and accuracy. A summary of America's most popular hawk-watching sites and tips on properly identifying flying hawks.
I love this small book for hawk watching. It is compact and has just the basic views of numerous birds of prey. It goes beyond the Peterson guides in that they have nice pictures of each species flying and perched and of the different patterns for various age groups. It is concise. I read up on hawks using other guides but use this for the field as a review. It is great for kids because of the clear pictures and being small.
