  • Praise for The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America:

    "This is unequivocally the most spectacular compendium of North American bird identification photographs ever assembled between two covers. ...this monumental volume offers birders the most up-to-date information on field identification of North American birds currently available. ...[it] significantly resets the bar for North America field guides." (Massachusetts Audubon Society).
