The new edition of the Peterson Field Guide to Birds contains the latest nomenclature. Indeed, since the previous edition, several French, English, and Latin names have changed.
Accessible, concise, and easy to use, the Peterson Field Guide to Birds is ideal for all birdwatchers.
One of the strengths of this guide is that it features illustrations rather than photographs, which greatly facilitates identification. A photograph shows us one angle of the bird with the lighting of the moment, whereas a drawing presents the best angle and lighting for identification. Moreover, the arrow system, unique to Peterson, indicates the different characteristics of the bird.
