E-Streams

I never read a bird guide by Ontario birder, author and educator Chris G. Earley that I did not treasure. I admire his informal approach, the splendid photographs in each volume, and Chris' dedication to helping birders of all levels with solid science, pictorial comparison charts and helpful hints... This new edition of Warblers of Eastern North America is an excellent, featherweight guide to carry into the field.

Bird Times

An excellent companion for the spring birding opportunities about to be ours... The book is slim enough for a jacket pocket, informative enough to be of real assistance... The photos are excellent. There are pages of photos comparing look-alike species. Spring and fall feathering is shown. The design of the book makes its use easy... The range maps are worth a comment: I regard them as a measure of the publisher's intent to serve readers fully. This book has five-star range maps; they are excellent.
