Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Features: The first comprehensive field guide to North American warblers describes all 60 species in detail, from field marks and vocalizations to mating habits and preferred habitats. The 32 color paintings use the unique Peterson Identification System to indicate what distinguishes one bird from another. 141 color photographs show various plumages for each species, and 60 large color maps show species' ranges.

Amazon.com Review:
The Peterson Field Guides series has added another weapon to its considerable arsenal of bird-identification guidebooks: a field guide devoted solely to the warblers of North America. Warblers, those small, sprightly, colorful songbirds that move north through the continent for the breeding season, have always delighted and simultaneously frustrated birders around the country. This field guide won't cure any cases of "warbler neck"--a condition brought on by extensive peering into the treetops--but it will help you to better decide just which species has your craned-neck attention. With color plates (including the "Peterson System" of arrows indicating important field marks), photographs, distribution maps, and textual information on species description, habitat, behavior, song, plumage variations, and migration patterns, this is an essential resource for birders.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Valuable Reference
Thirty-six species of warblers have been reported in my local area by reliable sources. I have seen and photographed 28 of the locally seen warbler species, and this Peterson Field Guide has proved to be a very valuable reference, especially when considering variable species plumage as a function of maturity, gender, and season.

I usually go to the plates first, and then read the related text. The only complaint I have is that the plates are not in alphabetical order by species, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For serious bird brains
If you are one of thousands of people who every spring and fall neglect jobs and family in order to flock to parks, craning their necks and give a damn if Oliver Stone and Bruce Willis just walked by - because your celebrities have wings, are colourful and hang out in the tree tops - than this IS the book for you.
Great drawings and photos with all the field marks and accurate descriptions. The book is compact enough to actually take along on a field trip.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Warbl ers.
Book about Warblers
this reference book is very helpful in identifying the migrating warblers.
It arrived in very good condition.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Far more than a field guide: outstanding, and quite deep...
This book is much more than just a field guide to the warblers. It contains a wealth of information on identification, but it also functions as a summary of the scientific literature on the ecology of each species, complete with references to the primary literature. This guide is a great way to not only get more serious as a birdwatcher, but also to help this interest develop into an interest in and understanding of ecology.

As a field guide, this book is exhaustive and excellent. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a Guide Should Be
Kimball Garrett and Jon Dunn worked together once again to produce a masterpiece. The information on status and distribution is remarkably accurate given the exceptional detail in which it is presented. The identification discussion is thorough and accurate. The discussion of subspecies, their taxonomy, and their identification (as is possible) is remarkable. The books only failing are the illustrations, which are flat and unrealistic for the most part. Their usefulness is limited.
