Basic Field Guides

Like an expert by your side

A field guide (or bird book) is the basic reference book of birding. Using pictures and description, it helps you identify the birds you see.

It's OK to start with just one book, but soon you'll probably want more. Each one contains something special.

It's fun to compare the the same bird in several books. You might want to check out our overview of field guides.
