Peterson First Guides: Wildflowers
This publication personally helped me become more familiar with the wildflowers. It includes specs and descriptions of 188 wildflowers. To start off the illustrations in this field guide are very realistic. The addition of color helps the reader to identify the flowers and plants as they are in the wild. I personally found it difficult when using other field guides to identify the differences ...

Roger Tory Peterson Institute
Topeka Bindery, 1999
A great guide, but not what many expect
This book, "A Field Guide to the Atlantic Seashore" is a great field guide. It presents an excellent overview of the life one commonly finds along the Atlantic coast of the USA. The book is arranged taxonomically, and each entry contains a description of characters useful in determining what you are looking at. As a professional biologist, I find this book to be superior in many ways to ...

Peterson's Birds of Texas
I bought this book to supplement Peterson's Birds of Mexico et al. for a trip to the Yucatan peninsula. My goal was to obtain color pictures of all the birds in Cozumel and the nearby peninsula of Yucatan. To be complete in this regard, one needs both North American Eastern and Western Peterson books and the Texas book and the Mexican book. On a bird-watching hike in the Yucatan peninsula I ...

A Field Guide to Eastern Forests: North America (Peterson Field Guide Series)5 reviews
John C. Kricher, Gordon Morrison
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1988
A Great Buy, Very Interesting
This is a great field guide that covers many aspects of forests East of the Great Plains. Although it covers many common species of both animal and plant, it is not overly helpful for positively identifying individual species; and if one wants that, you are better off with a more specific field guide (i.e., Eastern Birds). It does, however, detail the workings of a forest and accompanies this ...

Alot of fun!
My girls and I love this book! What a pleasure to be able to look out our window and now be able to identify the types of birds that live among us. We even now can recognize a bird by sound. This book includes wonderful pictures with easy to read descriptions of the birds and their habits. What a great way to spend time with each other having fun exploring and learning. A book that can be ...

Great Birding Software
First, the installation of this software was a breeze and very quick. The application interface is brightly colored and completely user friendly. It includes a tutorial by Peterson himself, a skill building game that helps sharpen your identification skills, and the ability to add multiple life lists. The life list feature was very easy to use and was the selling point for me. The ...

Peterson Field Guide to Mexican Birds (British Hondras, El Salvador) 15 reviews
Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Edward L. Chalif
Houghton Mifflin Co, 1973
Mexican Birds
As someone new to birdwatching I needed to find some good field guides at several points on my recent World Cruise and I bought Peterson's Mexican Birds to use for my visit to two points in Mexico. I found this a quite impressive book, considering the fact that it covers over 1000 species in such a small book, but it is perhaps too concise. The illustrations are good, with arrows showing ...

Birds of Britain and Europe (Collins Field Guide) 1 review
Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Guy Mountfort
Stephen Greene Pr, 1987
Good book, not the best organization.
I found this book to be informative as a guide to what I would find in Europe, but it received a poor grade in the field due to the poor organization. I had to flip through three sections to find a picture, description, and range-map for each bird. The maps were really too small for a US native to be able to tell which country was which, and the illustrations were consistantly exagerated to ...

Butterflies (Peterson Field Guide Coloring Books)1 review
Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Robert Michael Pyle
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1983
If your children love nature, you have to buy this!
Beautiful color pictures on the front cover and a chance to read about and color the butterflies on the inside. You should buy a set of colored penciles for this color book. Your child can identify the butterflies by the picture on the cover and learn more about them in the book. A real nature guide, not your run of the mill coloring book. Buy the series and you can sneak in an education on ...
