Used by millions of birders from novices to the most expert, The Sibley Guide became the standard by which natural history guides are measured. The highly anticipated second edition builds on this foundation of excellence, offering massively expanded and updated information, new paintings, new and rare species, and a new, elegant design. The Sibley Guide to Birds, second edition, brings the genius of David Allen Sibley to the world once again in a thoroughly updated and expanded volume that every birder must own.

Nature Calls 5.0 out of 5 stars That was accomplished by reducing the page margins and by making the text smaller. The last numbered page is 598 which is 54 pages more than my first edition.

However, both editions have the same dimensions because the pages are thinner in the second edition.Page space is better utilized in this edition, allowing Sibley's beautiful illustrations to take center stage. Hopefully Amazon will make a distinction between the first and second printings so that its customers can order the correct one. In case there is no way of knowing which printing you are buying from Amazon, I offer the following 2 options: 1) Go to a brick and mortar book store and physically purchase the guide. They even have the option to buy the first printing if one is so inclined. When I obtain the second printing, I will update this review. So far, I have heard good things: the font is readable and the colors are more representative of what one would see in the field. Not the size necessarily, but where many of the bird illustrations are WAY too dark, the font is way too light and lacks contrast. I keep tilting the book to get a better angle as if the text is catching or reflecting light but it's not. I have great eyesight, but I find the text a strain to read. Many of the birds are too dark and the colors are simply wrong. This shouldn't be a matter of opinion. The orange-crowned warbler is green, the hooded warbler has a highlighter-yellow face, the baltimore oriole's orange is more like an american robin's red and there are many more disappointments. Some of the bird's faces are so dark that you can barely discern any detail. Sibley set the bar and his second edition does not measure up. The font is another issue, and it's clear that too many are finding it hard to read.There was a corrected printing in July 2014, which I believe corrected the errors, printing, and colors. Also be aware that there is a December 2015 printing which includes all corrections, plus added color plates which are 20 larger. Bad news is that the December 2015 printing will cost 40.00 versus the less than 20.00 that Amazon is charging for this edition. No wonder.

I returned the March 2014 edition and Amazon refunded the cost.Having now spent some time with several different field guides, a) I've found I greatly prefer illustrated guides over photographic, and b) I understand why Sibley's is so highly-regarded in the birding community. The detail, side notes, and attempt to capture as many details as possible without being overwhelming makes this field guide both very user-friendly and very accurate for most typical birds. While no field guide can capture every aspect of every single bird (especially tricky ones like flycatchers, shorebirds, or sometimes-highly-variable juvenile or breeding plumages), Sibley's is better than anything else I've used when it comes to covering as many aspects of tricky birds as possible, and highlighting key marks that can be used to eliminate possibilities when nothing's an exact match at first glance.The illustrations on feather placement on the different parts of passerines, shorebirds, ducks, and gulls and the molt and plumage changes that birds have through the seasons is interesting It has more information than I anticipated and is a great reference book to have in my library. It is a big book, weighing approximately 3 pounds and is roughly 6.Highly Recommend!But the dark colours ruined all the excellent artist job done by David Sibley. There is already a second printing available that, for what I read, resolved all the problems of the previous printing, but it's impossible to know which one you gonna get when you're ordering, if Amazon.uk doesn't a separation between the two printings.Really bad job for the publisher. My advice: don't buy this book if you're not sure that is the second printing.I like the bigger drawings, the larger number of species shown and the information provided. What bothers me is the darkness of some illustrations, making them very different from real colors in nature. I won’t let go my 1st edition, I still need it for its better accuracy of colors.

Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required. Register a free business account The beautiful watercolor illustrations (6,600, covering 810 species in North America) and clear, descriptive text place Sibley and his work squarely in the tradition of John James Audubon and Roger Tory Peterson; more than a birdwatcher and evangelizer, he is one of the foremost bird painters and authorities in the U.S. Still, his field guide will no doubt spark debate. Unlike Kenn Kaufman's Focus Guide, Sibley's is unapologetically aimed at the converted. Beginning birders may want to keep a copy of Sibley at home as a reference, but the wealth of information will have the same effect on novices as trying to pick out a single sandpiper in a wheeling flock of thousands.
The familiar yellow warbler, for instance, gets no less than nine individual illustrations documenting its geographic, seasonal, and sex variations--plus another eight smaller illustrations showing it in flight. Of course, more experienced birders will appreciate this sort of detail, along with Sibley's improvements on both Peterson and the National Geographic guide: As in Peterson, Sibley employs a pointer system for key field markings--but additional text blurbs are included alongside the illustrations to facilitate identification. Descriptive passages on identification are more detailed than those in most other field guides. For example, Sibley includes extensive information on the famously hard-to-distinguish hawks in the genus Accipiter (sharp-shinned, Cooper's, and northern goshawk), noting differences in leg thickness and wing beat that will be of use to more advanced birders. Confusing fall warblers, Empidonax flycatchers, and Alcids receive similar treatment. As previously mentioned, ample space is given to illustrations that show plumage variations by age, sex, and geography within a single species. Thus, an entire page is devoted to the red-shouldered hawk and its differing appearances in the eastern U.S., Florida, and California; similarly, gulls are distinguished by age and warblers by sex. Range maps are detailed and accurate, with breeding, wintering, and migration routes clearly depicted; rare but regular geographic occurrences are denoted by green dots. The binding and paper stock are of exceptional quality. Despite its 544 pages, a reinforced paperback cover and sewn-in binding allow the book to be spread out flat without fear of breaking the binding. Some birders will be put off by the book's size. Slightly larger than the National Geographic guide, it's less portable than most field guides and will likely spend more time in cars and desks than on a birder's person while in the field.
For some it will be a strictly stay-at-home companion guide to consult after a field trip; others may want to have it handy in a fannypack or backpack. Everyone loves spring, of course, but to a birder that feeling is multiplied as spring is the season of discovery. Migrating birds make their way north from wintering grounds in the south to breeding grounds in the north, and no matter where you are you can see this migration in action. Every day brings new arrivals and new sightings, and the flood of birds can be overwhelming at times. If you’re lucky enough to be able to travel to a place like Gray’s Harbor in Washington state, Cheyenne Bottoms in Kansas, or Delaware Bay in the east, you can see hundreds of thousands of migrating shorebirds as they stop for a few weeks to refuel on their way to the arctic. Along the Gulf Coast beaches you can see birds that have just flown from the Yucatan or from South America and are dropping into the nearest patch of cover to rest. Even in urban areas--places like Central Park in New York City, Rock Creek Park in Washington DC, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and countless other parks in cities and towns across North America--you will find outstanding birding. During spring migration these natural oases can be filled with brightly-colored songbirds, and seeing an exotic bird like a Blackburnian Warbler or a Western Tanager, where there were none the day before, is a thrill unique to birding. You don’t even have to travel. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or a neophyte, just grab some binoculars and a bird guide, and head out to your backyard, or to your local park or beach to see what’s happening. Those warm spring days when all you want to do is take a long lunch break and sprawl out on the lawn are the same days that the birds will be migrating north, and all you have to do is look up.
--David Allen Sibley His thick, attractive and data-packed color guide offers nearly 7,000 images, along with range maps and detailed descriptions of songs, calls and voices, for all the birds North Americans might see. It's a more informative volume than Kenn Kaufman's forthcoming Birds of North America (Forecasts, Sept. 11) but less portable and harder for beginners to use. An introduction describes the key parts of major classes of birdsDthe tomia and culmen of a gull's bill, the scapulars and coverts of passerines (songbirds). Sibley then moves on to hundreds of pages of birds in 42 categories, from Loons and Grebes to Silky Flycatchers and Bulbuls. A typical page has two columns, with one species in each: that species gets a color-coded range map, a description of its voice, and four to eight illustrative paintings. These multiple images of single species are the guide's most attractive feature; they let Sibley show some birds in several poses, as well as important seasonal and regional, juvenile and mature, breeding and nonbreeding, or male and female versions of the same bird. (Gulls, terns, and many other seabirds, in particular, change their patterns completely when breeding.) Sibley assists viewers by giving, on the same page, images of species that might be mistaken for one anotherDone column shows 13 kinds of thrushes. He also describes calls for every bird (not just the more common ones), and makes many more comparisons. If Kaufman's guide belongs in birders' coat pockets, Sibley's big, detailed book belongs on their desks; it's easy to imagine birders rushing to Sibley's guide to check details of plumage or to confirm an ID the smaller guide has helped them make. Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.But it's a new millennium, and David Allen Sibley and the National Audubon Society have produced an impressive new Guide to Birds. How does it differ from earlier guides.
I believe the average field guide user spends the vast majority of time looking at the pictures, and when I was developing this layout I based it on the premise that most of the text in current field guides is redundant. Raptors are shown from below. All significant plumages are depicted: the Laughing Gull, for example, is shown in six different stages. Voice descriptions (songs, flight calls, juvenile begging cries, threats, displays) appear on every page. Full-color range maps show complete distributions, migration routes, and summer, winter and breeding locations. Measurements are there, too: wingspan, length and weight. To facilitate comparison, information and illustrations are arranged in the same way for each species, and birds are shown in similar poses. Happily, the text accompanies the drawings as captions, so you don't have to flip back and forth. Pointers guide your eye to the relevant feature. The book's introductory material is a primer on how to look at and identify birds, beginning with the parts of a passerine, or songbird. Don't fumble with a book, because by the time you find the right picture the bird will most likely be gone. Start by looking at the bird's bill and facial markings. A sturdy, flexible cover, sewn-in binding, and heavy, nonreflective paper add to the pleasure of using this book. True, it's a little hefty for the field, but this is a quibble. Better to have all this information than to be able to tuck the book in your pocket. Besides, it fits easily in a backpack. Born to Bird The son of Yale ornithologist Fred Sibley, David Sibley taught himself to draw at age six by tracing Arthur Singer's illustrations in Birds of the World. After two semesters at Cornell, he dropped out to work at the Cape May Bird Observatory. Several years later he left Cape May and crisscrossed the U.S. in his pickup truck to study birds, storing his sketching equipment in the cab and sleeping in the back.
By his late 20s he was an acknowledged expert, leading tours for WINGS. Now 39, he is married to Joan Walsh, an ornithologist he met at Manomet Bird Observatory, and the father of two young children. Sibley starts his drawings in pencil, working from photographs and field sketches. He then puts the illustrations on an opaque projector and adjusts for size so they are exactly proportional to the others on that page of the guide. After correcting for size and shape, he traces the projection and paints the final version in gouache, working in transparent layers until he reaches the desired color and texture.Sibley's illustrations are a labor of love born out of a lifetime of acute observation and passion. His attention to subtleties could only have been noted by watching each species of bird in the field over time. It is this kind of aesthetic and deep patience that makes each page a visual delight. Call the Sibley Guide an ecological testament to the majesty of birds in all their variations.His beautifully detailed illustrations?more than 6,600 in all?and descriptions of 810 species and 350 regional populations will enrich every birder's experience.

One does not need to read through the small text to find them like in NG. But as I leave the guide in my car (even NG is too heavy to carry), Sibley's weight is not an issue for me. This is particularly useful when I need to locate the identified bird in the book so that I can save its accurate info into my excel sheet. In short, Sibley is better for identification, and NG is better for documenting the bird. It is fun to have both. But if I can only have one bird guide book, I would get Sibley's.And then I saw it shown as reference somewhere and I was marveled by the ilustrations and presentation in general of this book. I decided to buy one used copy of it because I already had the natgeo guide for reading facts about birds. The drawings are really something else, worth it to see.
I already knew is quite old edition so when I read the info I also confirm with other sources. The book arrived fast and it looks almost new. So far is the prettiest guide that I seen, followed from the Kaufman guide.not as heavy as the one from Natgeo but it is bigger than that one. I would prefer a much smaller and lighter guide for walks.My paperback copy has a well-sewn binding and lies flat when open, which makes it tremendously useful for: Identifying birds in your backyard, if you live in a place where there is still habitat and cover for more than House (English) sparrows and can sit at a table and study the book with the birds. A house or patio makes a good blind. Identifying birds in a reserve or park where you are basically driving to an observation deck pier, or blind. Keeping in the car in case you happen on a rest stop or a park or a good road shoulder with birds, and these are many. The car is a great blind -- birds tend to stay put, and an open window makes a good binocular (or camera) brace if the motor is turned off. The size and heft of the book is perhaps useful here -- it stays put on the car seat and stays open. And I rather agree with the reviewer who bewails the lack of mention of eggs -- a few paragraphs on lifestyle (Ground feeders. A sense of order characteristics is one of the most useful things a new birder can acquire. It seems silly to deny the book's users this easy rationalization of the groups, and any aspiring birder who has had -- as is likely-- a course or workshop in Natural History, birds or birding, or basic biology at the vertebrate level should appreciate the usefulness of taxonomic hierarchy. The book is in taxonomic sequence but does not in any way other than by a page of thumbnails attempt to separate the larger (ordinal level) groups.
Because of size and weight of the Sibley guide, the near microscopic range maps, the sometimes skimpy habitat and lifestyle material, I use this book together with the Golden guide (Robbins, Zim, and others), which has a good-sized range map with the text for almost every species, and many sonograms of calls or songs, also with the text. While the sonograms may seem daunting at first, they are far better than attempts at spelling out calls once you get the hang of them -- which is not at all hard if you look at a sonogram or two while listening to a familiar bird singing. The older editions, boards with sewn bindings, were also of a size to go into a large jacket pocket, and after some use opened flat easily -- that field guides might actually go into the field is increasingly overlooked in the current style of book design!This was a Xmas gift for my brother and we were disappointed with the quality of the book, although the contents are fabulous.But worth the price I suppose. It arrived promptly with a little scaring on package.Todos los dibujos son de muy buena calidad y las descripciones y mapas excelentes. Totalmente recomendable.

Events and interviews My NPR interview from Weekend Edition is now online at WGBH, along with an extended 23-minute. Read More Let me know if you have other questions not already covered. Which one should I buy. They are all the same (with one exception). The Sibley Guides to Birds and Trees have only one binding, called “flexibound”. It is a flexible cover, thicker than a typical paperback and extending beyond the page edges. It is intermediate between the traditional “paperback” and “hardcover” styles, and many sellers list it as one of those two categories. The only exception is the Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior, which was originally published in a hardcover binding, but is now sold as flexibound. Books that are sold directly through this website are always signed, and can also be personalized according to your instructions (for example “to John James, Happy Birthday!”). At checkout you will see a box where you can enter any special instructions for an inscription, and I will take care of that before I ship the books. Most stores will be happy to take your order for a book with inscription and shipping, and I will sign the book when I am at the store. The smaller Eastern and Western Guides are true “Field Guides” and are recommended when you want a more portable size and a book that focuses on the species and variations you are most likely to see. At just under 5 by 8 inches, and under 1.5 pounds, they will fit into many pockets. The “Big Sibley” is larger at 6.25 by 9.75 inches, and nearly twice as heavy at 2.5 pounds. It will fit in a large jacket pocket, but generally has to be carried in a backpack or other bag. The Western Guide includes about 715 species and the Eastern guide includes about 650 species. Species that are rare in a region have very limited coverage with only one to three illustrations, and even many common species have the number of illustrations reduced, with some subtle or seldom-seen variations dropped.
Mostly this reflects regional differences in status or other features, but in some cases text was also rewritten to reflect different identification challenges in each region. Some text simply wouldn’t fit in the smaller books and was cut (for example, voice descriptions are shortened), and the sidebar essays on various topics are slightly different among the three books. The revised Eastern and Western field guides were published two years later than the big guide, and include several species of introduced exotic birds that are not included in the big guide. These are primarily found in southern California and Florida: Pin-tailed Whydah, Bronze Mannikin, Orange-cheeked Waxbill, and Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater, and Japanese White-eye.
