Book Reviews of A Field Guide to Hawks of North America

Book Review: Good, but Frustratingly Illustrated.
Summary: 3 Stars

When this book was first published, it was one of a kind. It remains a good reference today, and it is surprising how much useful information the authors packed into a pocket-sized book. Bravo! Its illustrated plates, however, are suggestive of a broad-brush approach, particularly with the poor rendering of wing and tail shapes. (Nearly useless for silhouettes!) An unfortunate blemish on an innovative guide!

The authors of this guide are also behind the well-regarded "A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors." And more recently, one author published two *superb* regional references (Raptors of Eastern North America: The Wheeler Guides, Raptors of Western North America: The Wheeler Guides) with Princeton University Press. These books are all worthy of your consideration.
