Eastern North America – The Wheeler Guides
by Brian
K.Wheeler
Published by
Princeton University Press
 Raptors
are incredible creatures and as a photographer
I will have to admit that they are probably my
favorite bird to photograph. They are regal
and wild, ferocious and beautiful. The one
point of trouble in watching or photography
raptors is that they can be incredibly
difficult to identify at times. The key to
solving this problem lies in acquiring a good
reference guide and now on available are a
pair of field guides that are by far the best
raptor guides on the market. Raptors of
Western North America & Raptors of Eastern
North America – The Wheeler Guides by Brian
K.Wheeler and published by Princeton
University Press are simply masterful. They
offer hundreds of brilliant, sharp and
descriptive photos, detailed status and
distribution, species traits, descriptions and
much, much more. The species accounts are
incredibly informative and exhaustedly
researched and compiled by Brian K.Wheeler who
is an incredibly talented photographer as
well. Raptors of Western North America &
Raptors of Eastern North America – The Wheeler
Guides by Brian K.Wheeler and published by
Princeton University Press are the best raptor
guides period and are a must have for any
nature lovers library.

Shorebirds of North America
– The Photographic Guide
B y Dennis Paulson
Published by
Princeton University Press
Shorebirds
are amazing animals - some species are capable of the longest migrations
of the world's vertebrates. The wetlands and mudflats of North
America host many species of shorebirds that stop to refuel on their long
migratory flights to and from their breeding and wintering grounds.
Shorebirds of North America – The Photographic Guide by Dennis Paulson and
published by Princeton University Press is a superlative guide to these
wonderful creatures. Packed with beautiful and vivid color photographs of
each species, Paulson's book is an irresistible guide for anyone
interested in these animals. The photographs are carefully selected to
be helpful in aiding accurate identification of birds which are often very
similar in appearance. His book offers detailed descriptions of size,
plumage details, flight patterns, voice, behaviour, habitat and range.
These descriptions are very useful but what makes this book stand out is
the over 500 photos – with about 10 photos per species covering adult and
juveniles and different plumages. Shorebirds of North America – The
Photographic Guide by Dennis Paulson and published by Princeton University
Press is the best reference on shorebirds on the market today and a 'must
have' addition to any birders library.
Gulls of
North America, Europe and Asia
by Klaus Malling Olsen and Hans Larsson
published by Princeton University Press
One of the challenges for birdwatchers, expert and novice alike, is the
accurate identification of gulls throughout their stages of maturity.
These wonderful birds display a regal beauty that is often taken for
granted. ‘Gulls of North America, Europe and Asia by Klaus Malling Olsen
and Hans Larsson and published by Princeton University Press is an amazing
book on these creatures. Every so often a book will come along that fills
a niche so brilliantly that it becomes an unparalleled asset to own. The
different gull species descriptions are perfectly complete and accurately
thorough. This incredible reference offers many side by side comparison
plates as well as individual accounts of 43 species of gull. Each account
offers 2 different color plates, beautifully illustrated by Larsson, one
standing of each plumage variation as well as one in flight. The species
accounts include measurements of wing, bill and tarsus and 3 full pages of
color photos. This book is a tremendous effort. Few species guides come
remotely close to achieving the effort of Gulls of North America, Europe
and Asia by Klaus Malling Olsen and Hans Larsson; it sets an incredibly
high standard of quality and will make a proud inclusion to any natural
history library.
