I still love the book, though my first resource now is the big Sibley.<br /><br />One of the reasons for getting an iPhone was to be able carry the big Sibley in my pocket - to always have it with me, as one never knows when an interesting bird will fly by.<br /><br />I just saw that Appweaver's has come out with the Peterson Birds of North America for iOS devices. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/peterson-birds-north-america/id407825684<br />It looks very interesting with lots of illustrations, bird sounds, etc. They say they've included info from 7 of the Peterson Field Guides, plus the reference guide to molt.<br />I haven't tried it and I hate to sound like an advertisement, but the price is reduced for the rest of this year.Bosque Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001863270259847102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-72158433447155370762010-12-18T10:55:54.687-05:002010-12-18T10:55:54.687-05:00Chris -- a very informative and educational post. ...Chris -- a very informative and educational post.
