I'll check out Sibley.<br /><br />Janet, you're going to make me a birder, yet. I've heard NG's is like a bible to some birders.<br /><br />Thanks, Erica. I still don't know how you get such incredible bird photos.<br /><br />Jeannette, I love the visual of your words.<br /><br />Mr. T, we only get these from mid-Oct to mid-Feb. Vote #2 for Sibley.<br /><br />Thanks, Joe. Almost all my songbird pics are from this tree.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-27305635377867614152010-12-11T04:29:56.608-08:002010-12-11T04:29:56.608-08:00Nice shots.

They are not unusual for California. I prefer the Western Sibley field guide. However, I also sometimes like to use lesser but more local field guides as there are less choices and often more information are the birds behaviors and habitats. I sometimes even use the plastic picture cards for quick guesses .Sandyhttp://naturalhistorywanderings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-84165980801089822112010-12-10T13:31:58.782-08:002010-12-10T13:31:58.782-08:00Great shots!
