Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides(R)) from Houghton Mifflin Price: $20.40 Customer Review: Listening to this 3-CD set for the first time, I cycled through an entire manic-depressive episode.

A Field Guide to Western Birds : A Completely New Guide to Field Marks of All Species Found in North America West of the 100th Meridian and North of Mexico (PETERSON FIELD GUIDE SERIES) from Houghton Mifflin Price: $18.00 Customer Review:  I found this book to be typical of all Peterson guides. It's a useful book to have but not the best available. In typical Peterson fashion the book shows illustrations of birds instead of photos. While some find this more useful for showing details all too often I've found that the drawings like... |

A Field Guide to Insects from Houghton Mifflin Co Price: $13.30 Customer Review: Most who use this book have the same general complaint -- no color. Color, however, can be one of the most useless characteristics in identifying insects (especially if there are multiple color morphs).
